Any financial planner will tell you to buy used, if you have to buy a car. Cars are NOT investments, period. Cars are necessities at their lowest level and enjoyment at their best.

I chose new because it's only new once, and I'll know the history of the car. It will also have a warranty for when the inevitable issues crop up (been minor stuff, but it's fixed for free). It's MINE and nobody has smoked in it, or done some ungodly bullshit repairs to it that I've had to deal with on other cars.

The piece of mind was worth the added cost IMHO, but that's 100% a personal thing and I don't look down on people that buy used at all.
