I just see it a lot where you get the used buyers, even when they are sitting in front of me in my office, ragging on new car buyers, and thinking they are so much more enlightened than the rest of us. Most new car buyers know all of the disadvantages, they simply don't care, they just want a new car.

If someone can afford and wants a luxury item, I don't see the problem with that. I could afford to buy a new car every few years, but I don't. Instead, I spend that money on travel. All I get out of that is memories, but it's worth it to me. Interesting that I almost never get flack from anyone about that expense (and it's significant relative to my income) but others of similar incomes get flack about buying new cars.
