I don't think I'll ever buy new again. I bought my new Jeep used and saved myself $20k. And my Jeep is still like brand new.
I was thinking about this earlier this morning. Dollar for dollar, my beat up old truck has provided me with the best value. Including the purchase price and the paint work, I spent less than $8k. The last new car I bought I most likely lost $8k the moment I drove it off the lot.
