Ok i have a conundrum, i think thats the word i'm looking for anyway :S
Why would anyone buy a new car when as soon as you leave the car yard it depreciates in value? Why wouldnt you buy a second hand brand new car, like a month old for like ten grand less?
Why are people so obsessed with cars anyway? They really dont make that big a statement about your life, social status or personality- much as some people think they do...

I have never bought a new car. Only used and it was never off a car lot.

I agree with you, I only have a car to get me places and I don't care if it's brand new as long as it runns and doesn't break down on me in the freeway.

We have always been used car people ourselves, but I think part of that is that my dad is a mechanic, so we always could check their condition first. But, we have gotten some great deals on decent cars, including my Nissan with the Bose sound system. Sweet...
