It also makes a ton of sense if you can find what floats your boat.

Cars, as in all currentcars, are of excellent quality now, and will probably last far longer than they are stylish.

The thought that my Caravan is indeed of reasonably good quality (like the last one, a '95'er) is appealing. Style has never been much of a consideration, utility is more important. One of my best cars was a Honda Civic Wagon-ny thing, affectionately known as the pregnant roller skate. Did it move the kids stuff back and forth to college across the Triboro bridge ... Now the granddaughter is approaching 13 ...

When it comes to vehicles, I just buy new; however, I don't even consider replacing it before the 400,000 mile mark.

By that time, I figure it doesn't owe me anything.

My 1999 Tonka Toy has 120,000 and is just getting warmed up.

I prepared some educational/marketing materials for a guy who taught folks how to sell cars. I learned some things from his unique perspective. The biggest thing was that all new cars are identical and all used cars are unique. Now that may have been from a salesman perspective in terms of pricing. But it tells a lot.

From my perspective, it is hard to find new cars that I really like. Sure, if you want basic transportation or utility, there is a lot out there. But in terms of true style, not so much. And when you factor in the price, used style will cost you a lot less than new style. And it looks/feels better to me.

That's the point!

Since style IS important to many folks, you get to buy the depreciated car, all utility included, at a large discount.
