I think buying new can actually make sense financially, as long as you keep the car a long time -- it'll be easier to keep longer as it has its full life ahead of it, and replacing cars costs $$$ in taxes, especially if you live in a state with high sales tax. Also less maintenance costs with the full warranty from the beginning.

Also nothing can replace that factory fresh feel... I've only ever owned one new car in my life so far, but even years after I bought it I still had a sense of pride of it being my "new" car.
