Last Year's Model

There are a bunch of 2012 cars at dealers around here with 10-20k miles on them. Is there something to be wary about? They are ~20% under their new price. Seem to be almost-new cars. Mustn't there be a reason people trade these in?

I'm not looking so much to buy a 2012 right now, but I'm more interested in the pattern. If in 2-3 years is it work looking at these vehicles or just pay the premium for a new one?

Our '07 Caliber is having issues with only 53k on it. We bought it 2 years ago with only ~30k miles on it. Would really like to not have thousands in repairs due on such a new car. My '95 Avalon stays on the road for basically nothing, most years. Though it needs struts soon -- big whoop. 280k miles.
