Nope, not me. All of my cars have been used or a better term... pre-owned! I think my next car will be brand new. Can't wait!

Nope. I don't think I ever will. Doesn't bother be to get one used so I figure I might as well let someone else eat the depreciation.

I haven't, but when we were engaged, Hubs got a brand new car with less than 100 miles on it. Now the car has over 66000 miles. When we get another new one, it'll be mine.

I've had one brand new one. Won't buy another...it's pretty much never a good deal. We'll only buy used from now on. My husband knows a lot about cars and is good at finding good deals on good cars. I trust him to buy reliable ones.

Yes. I bought my Mazda new and I absolutely adore this car. Not only is it paid off but it has almost 100,000 miles on it and it has only needed oil changes and tires. I love it!!

Yup! DH and I both got new cars last summer. His broke down and I gave my old one to me brother who was returning from college.

I bought myself a brand new car right out of university, and I will never buy a brand new car again. Such a waste of money.

Nope, never have never will. Although hubby wants to buy a brand new Harley one day which will be probably more money than a regular new car anyway!

Yep! I was going to buy a used one when I bought my new one but the it was only a few hundred dollars more for a brand new one verses a used one.

My first car was a brand new car (2001 Toyota Corolla). My dad bought it for me for my 16th birthday. After that, I've only had used cars.

Yep. Just bought myself a new one in May. My car before that was also brand new. A built in navigation system is a must have item for me, so until they become standard options, buying used cars isn't an option.

Yep, on my second - a Prius C. We pay a sizeable down payment so we're not financing much and pay it off within 2-3 years. I had too many used cars that I ended up spending way too much money on.

Yep, three. Honda civic which I traded in for a Honda crv. When that was totaled (not my fault) I used the insurance money to buy another new crv. I figured that if I could walk away from a rollover with nothing but a bruise on my knee, it was worth getting again! I like Hondas because they don't depreciate as much, and I like new because I know it's been treated right.

I bought one new, and I won't do it again. The car I drive now is used, and in perfect condition. It's a total waste of money to buy new.

Yep. In my family we have only ever bought new... and then we keep them as long as possible before purchasing the next car. My first car was a new Subaru Legacy sedan that I drove for 12 years. Now I have a new Subaru Forrester that I just bought last year. We just sold DH's car, and we're in the market for a new car for him too.

@skibobrown: I love Subarus! My first car was a Subaru SVX and I loved that car! I would love to get an outback but I think we want third row seating for our next car.
We have 2 new cars and our plan is to keep buying new, take good care of them, and drive them as long as possible.

Three. A Ford Focus in high school, and a Mazda 6 & Subaru Legacy on my own dime. We lease, since we have one car it has to be super reliable with a low upkeep cost.

We just got our first new...truck I wanted a mom car but we have a huge yard so it was more practical. Now a big Toyota Tundra sits in our drive way because it can't fit in our garage, lol. It's nice though and I love knowing that no one has done anything horrible to it. The new car smell isn't bad either.
But we've owned 8 used cars and never had problems with them. We just get sick of our cars too easily.

Yup! The Mustang my parents bought me and the Toyota Sequoia I bought myself.

Nope, but I don't really mind. Getting a car that's a few year's old, completely detailed and ready to drive off the lot is good enough. It is new to me, after all!

Nope, all my cars have been certified pre-owned from the dealer or junk cars from craigslist.
