New is vastly overrated, Derf

New is nice, but doesn't last long. All that's good about it is warranties.
New cars are for (a) people whose egos demand new rides, (b) people who want painless transportation (leasing), (c) folks who don't mind or can afford taking the depreciation hit, and (d) folks who don't mind car/lease payments as part of their monthly budget.
With two exceptions I've always bought used cars. Some with good warranties, some without. It works. I keep them a long time, usually 'til they aren't worth much, and maintain them well, about 80% DIY. And I spend a fraction of the amount I'd spend if I were to buy new cars.
But whatever floats your boat.
