Now for those that buy new because they like being the first in the car, or they like the idea of driving something completely new, well, that's just a matter of paying a premium to stroke the ego. If you've got the money for it, have at 'er, I suppose, but I'll never understand it.

New car buyers are egomaniacs? Without new car buyers, there would no used cars.

If I buy a new Ford Fiesta for $16,000.00 as apposed to, a used Hummer for $40,000.00, for instance. I am more of an egomaniac? Bizarre.
