I dunno, I have had several cars I thought would be my "last" car, however I get bored with them ALL. I am 23 and have owned 10 vehicles.. so that gives you an idea of how often I sell a car and get a different one (although I ussually in the past had 2 at a time, being one was always a winter car when I lived back in MN)

Point is, for me, even if I love a car, if it has V8, and is everything I ever wanted, I still get tired of it, so I Mod it, however the thrill of getting a "different" car is something that I love. Getting something different just keeps things exciting, so there is no way I could ever finance on a car, because I just can't keep a car more than a year or two before I want to get something different. Hence why I only buy used, why I pay cash for all of mine, and can enjoy them while I own it, then sell it when I want..

Example, I loved my '99 Trans Am, my 94 Z28, and my 96 Z28, ALL very similar cars, however I just decided I wanted something different, even if it was a similar car. Now I am looking into 04-06 GTO's being they are cheap, and I have wanted one for the past few years. I figure I will get one for a second car to enjoy, and in a year I will be ready for something else, which the 2010 Camaro's will be used then so I can pick one of them up!

Some people don't get tired of a car, some people do, so it all depends on who you are.

If you don't get tired of a car and plan to keep it a long time then go ahead and buy a new car etc.. but for someone like me who only owns a car for a year or two, buying a car that has already depreciated is the best bet, that way after you drive it for a year and re-sell it you don't loose much, if any on it and you can move on to the next thing you want...heck it could just be another Camaro with different options/color etc.. either way it's a different car and exciting, and I love that feeling haha!
