I guess it depends what you buy. My car stores all kinds of info in the key fob, including maintenance records, average millage and even driving style. It's also very easy to tell when a car is been abused or babied. The warranty also covers everything bumper to bumper, even the shinyness of the paint :lol:

And that new car feeling fades fast, especially after you bought a 2011 civic si and find out your friend just got a loaded 2007 335i BMW for close to the same price. Or when you get hail damage or when your wife drives it into the garage :lol:

Money is only money but value is whole new ball game and I'll take the feeling I got the most for my money over a new car feeling any day.

As you have had your last car for 10 years I think that the cost of new and owning for 10 years works out to being very close to buying used and keeping it for a shorter period of time.

I would never buy a car that has been in accident, they never feel the same after an accident. They certainly never have that new car feeling.

Treat yourself you only live once.

In total agreement. But then thats also why after I retired once, I now work again. :lol:

Sure you can buy or negotiate an extended warranty from the dealership but if you read the fine print they never cover everything.

This is why I am buying new............ plus I will probably hold on to it for 20 years......... or however long it lasts.
