   That is where it pays to be stubborn, like myself.  I have never let anything   
   get in the way of going towards my goals.  Sure, there are bumps along the   
   way.  Quiting isn't in my vocabulary, except when it came to smoking.  :)

   I have done both used and new.  The one advantage I like about buying new is   
   that I know the entire history of the car, down to ever minor detail.  I keep   
   very detailed logs of everything I do to my vehicles, date, mileage, etc.     
      
   Otherwise, I agree - it saves money buying used.  I just buy new so seldom, it   
   doesn't seem like much of an issue in my case.
