[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3637247, member: 3099"] I bought my last new car about 2003. Unless it's a highly desirable model with a long track record of high resale value and I'll likely pay mostly cash for it if I ever buy another new one. I'll be just as happy buying used like most of my life. Right now most Subaru models are not a lot different between new and low milage still under warranty so why buy used? Same for certain Honda, Toyota and Jeep Wranglers, they are king of resale. Buying new isn't a bad thing if you are informed and have your compulsions in check. Otherwise for me, it's just used with no real attachment. As mentioned they are basically tools. My sister works with a gal that has 4 kids, all 4 are in nice private school, drives a Range Rover, lives in a $300k house in the burbs, hubby works a pretty decent job too. They take a nice cruise every year. They also live check to check and she's always stressed about getting enough hours in for a bill coming due. They've been doing this for years. I'll never understand that. [/QUOTE]
