I bought one. That one cured me. My younger daughter bought one (her
third car) and most likely won't ever buy another one - although she
has had VERY good luck with hers .

However, I'm glad there are people out there with the money to buy new
cars every few years and take care of them, otherwise there would be
nothing for me to buy.

For some people buying new makes sense - just not for me and a lot of
people I know.

Never had a new car. They don't make financial sense - to me.
It's why I was able to retire early. And I'm a pretty good mechanic.
Nothing wrong with buying new though. Some people won't buy even buy
a used house. Or used clothes. I don't hesitate buying used as long
as I get value. Never bought used PC gear.
