Good post! I bought new even though I know it isn't a good choice financially. Didn't even bother telling my financial planner as he wouldn't approve. Doesn't matter - it gives me pleasure to drive a brand new car optioned out the way I want it and broken in nicely. I'll probably keep it 5 to 8 years and start over. I don't really expect much from the residual and will probably sell it to a friend or family member who will get a really good deal and a very well looked after used car.
