I've also bought a car new. It was the 3rd car I've had, but the 1st brand new. The reason I bought it new was because I didn't want to have to deal with the possible problems of a used car. I may never buy a car new again though, my car is all paid off now and in great condition for only being 5 years old. I love my car...even if I don't take it to the car wash often.
