Exactly. I have never bought a new car - ever. This is why. For some being the first owner is worth the extra $. For me it is not. I can't take that kind of hit and not have it take all the fun out of it for me.
I've had a DD and a play car for many decades (sometimes 2 play cars) and I pay less for all of them put together than some pay for a single new one. My buddy just bought a new loaded Denali pickup. It was hard for me to tell him it cost more than everything in my garage put together......... =)
