without someone buying new there would be no used cars for you or other people to buy. As you say it is personal choice but some people (not you) are quite happy to call people who buy new cars stupid or mad for doing this. I personally don't mind not owning the car but just want a reliable car that is safe and will not break down on us leaving us stranded with no way of getting to where we want. I like new cars because I like the gadgets etc . Yes I pay for this privelige but as long as I can afford it then I am happy. As I don't drink and smoke my pleasure is my car (also my wife likes it too or else I wouldn't be buying 1). With a new car warranty for 3 years and either free servicing or road fund licence paid ,it make sense to me to enjoy my motoring with peace of mind. I am nearly 70 so have had my share of old bangers etc so it is nice to have a new car.
