Ive always bought under 30k mile used cars this is my first new car. The depreciation is going to suck but I love the car.

i've never bought an used car before, and my family haven't bought an used car before. With used cars, you just don't know how the previous owner took care of it. Some people also don't have good hygiene and the ass sweat soak into the seat is not pleasant.

I'm 37 and pick up my BRZ on Friday.
This is not my first new car but I am so excited just like my first car. I had lost that feeling long time ago and just recover it back.
It feels like the first puppy love.

Making me think about how many new cars I've bought made me sad. I must have burned through 100k in depreciation over the last 15 years. Oh well!

First new car and I'm 25. Bought my last two cars used and would've continued on that path were it not for the BRZ. First time I test drove it I knew it had to be my first new car purchase.

Technically I have had a new car before, but it was a 6 month company lease. It was a 2012 Audi S4 6MT, and yes I felt sooo spoiled driving it I could never afford it otherwise, and I have never had a new car before. Until the twins came out, there really weren't any new cars that I wanted and could reasonably afford.

I've bought around 30 or so cars but this is my first new car. I have bought my wife a few new cars though.

This is my First new car purchase too. First car was a 91 Accord EX 2 door with over 180k miles on it. A year later I bought my 99 Integra with 67k miles in 07. Drove the Integra until last September and ordered my BRZ. First brand new car. I still find it crazy looking at the Odometer and only seeing 300 and change on it. Plus I know everything that is being done to this car being the original owner. I love it.

My first two cars were hand-me-downs from siblings, which is awesome as a teenage driver. The first was a '95 Cherokee with a 3" lift. Lots of memories in that beast. Second was a '98 Legacy GT, which I still use as my winter vehicle. The Zed was the first brand new car I purchased, and I must say, the feeling of driving the car off the lot is quite exhilarating.

I bought my truck new in 07 when I was 23, and the BRZ in july just after turning 29, kinda of a birthday present to myself. So no, not my first new vehicle, but if you want to be technical, my first new "car"
