FWIW I think buying a new car and running it until the wheels come off can be a smart financial decision. We have kept the majority of cars we own for over ten years. I've only bought one new Porsche in my lifetime though. My beloved 944S2. I kept it eleven years before getting a used 993. |

I like new cars. I've had a few that I kept for over ten years. Two new cars in my past.
For my wife I will buy new.

I never said you should buy a new car...but there are more reasons for buying a brand new car other than price.............if you don't understand that why are you regulars at a car forum...an expensive car fourm.
Saving every dime you make is just as sad as spending every dime you make. Last edited by romad; 06-18-2013 at 10:40 AM.. |

If I had the money there would be one used car in my future. I'd get a nice old Porsche for everyday driving.

The last new car I bought was my '98 Accord V6 and it's still going strong at 230,000 miles. Normal maintenance and careful driving have made it a good experience. Wife loves her bought-new '07 Odyssey and it's got 100,000 trouble-free miles now.

There is not a single new vehicle out there that I would have any interest in buying. Nothing appeals to me.

i am certainly not a tight wad.. i just keep a clear eye on the differences between my "needs" and my "wants". it is the gray area purchases that keep things exciting for me. hahah. i feel new cars are cool. the car companies are finally building things that make me take a second look. heck, Hyundai has me double taking tooks..that two door turbo car is pretty nice looking...for a hyundai. ![]()
