Same same. I’ve only bought 5 brand new cars in my life. The first was a young (1980, 22, right out of college) and stupid financial move (since I had zero credit and just started my first real job, the dealer bent over to get me approved... for 17.9% for 4 years!). A VW Vanagon Camper that I camped in a LOT back then. Loved it. Had to have it. Did pay it off in a year, owned it for 3-4 years, traded it in on a new Porsche. Another young & stupid move. Lots of fun. No regrets. Most every car for the next 35 years, once I wised up to depreciation and became my own mechanic was bought used and were far better financial deals. Last 2 once retired, I bought new, dealt well, and no regrets. 3 years no maintenance and 4 year BTB warranty is worth it to me now that I can afford whatever I want. Best long term cost deal was a used 1999 Dodge Dakota with 89k miles on it for $4k in 2006 from original owner with full maintenance records. Still own it with 170k on it and no REAL major repairs. (But plenty of minor ones) Was a DD for many years, but now delegated since retirement to my emergency/yard work/hauling vehicle and maybe 2k miles a year tops. Costs $25/month to own and still has a $1k value.
