I bought a new car earlier this year. I got a Toyota. I intend on being its only owner (I will drive it until it is totaled). With the reliability I expect to get out of the car, that means I could be driving it for 15-20 years if I treat it right. Since I figure I’m going to be owning it that long 1) I wanted to get a specific configuration that I like 2) I was okay with spending a little bit extra (when you consider the intended lifetime of the car) to get it brand new.
Since I don’t ever plan on reselling it, I don’t care about the value of the car decreasing after I buy it personally.
