I'm right there with you guys. The last 'new car' here was in' '86. The wife bought a left over '86 MR2 to celebrate getting her teaching contract with the school board. Then there was another decade when we went through a 924s, a Quattro and some pick up trucks, all used.
Then priorities changed. We were still buying two year old cars, but were keeping them for over a decade. It was around that time when my toys became 30 year old cars which I was comfortable working on, the old E, a '90 MX 5 and the '89 Golf Cabriolet. I guess my feeling was: if they're stuck in garage awaiting parts or loving, it's no big deal.
I must admit, reading this thread, I was reminded of the Python skit of the Yorkshiremen talking about how little they had while growing up.
Best to All.
