Probably won't be a new car in my future (other than company car) until my three kids are beyond college. But...new car smell is one good reason. I like that. Also, just the fact that no one has touched it and done anything stupid before you. No door dings, no chuck-holes, no Jiffy-lubes, no french fries under the seat, no pine straw in the trunk, and the list goes on.

A lot of money to spend for peace of mind, but if you're thinking of buying a "holy grail" car that you're going to keep, yes...new may not be the financially responsible thing to do, but sometimes that's not the overriding criteria.

Admission: Didn't read the link on the OP.
