I've never bought a new car and won't. I can't justify the depreciation hit. Never really cared much for lighting money on fire.

The "new car smell" is okay but honestly doesn't really do much for me. It kinda' makes me think "they didn't let the materials offgas enough before installing" and "I wonder how many [nice-smelling] carcinogens I'm being exposed to right now"

I suppose one of the most satisfying things in the world might be unloading the first really good, deep, long fart into the upholstery of a brand new seat in a $70,000+ car however... Maybe I'll rethink buying new just so I can experience that. I wonder what it's like with a Rolls or Bentley.
