I'd never buy a new car. Although I have previously - twice.  ::)

Not with 40-50%+ depreciation within 3 years. No thanks.  :shake:

I did buy a new Mac recently. It was a 'cheap' one, not a posh (excruciatingly expensive)  one.

I'm very glad I didn't buy a posh one. I wish I'd been able to buy an even cheaper second-hand one.
We bought a new car, and we plan to keep it, that's why don't care about depreciation as we are not selling it unless my spinal condition and Osteoporosis get so bad that I need to be in the wheel chair 24/7 and even then, the fun we had with the Renault Sport was worth it, my wife always loves driving it, and it was nice to know we ran it in and not some heavy footed nutter who did not take care of the first 900 miles, the car is good to us, we are good to the car. :)

  My Mac was about the same price as my LCD TV, so I don't consider that expensive, but it is beautiful as well as very enjoyable to use, and like any object that has a greater aesthetic beauty in the eye of the buyer, you do pay more but I like to look at objects of beauty so that's fine.

I would buy a painting that cost a lot if I liked it, and they are second hand as such, and there is no guarantee it will become valuable over the years either, its about enjoying what you have while you are here, as they say you can't take it with you when you go  ;)
Damned, if you do damned if you don't

There is no economic sense in either case. The car looses a fortune as soon as you drive it off the forecourt and the iMac was a steal at that price. Its an emotional decision, the newness,the smell,the feel and the knowledge that no one else has driven or used it before.By the way I am picking my new car up to day,why because of the above and because I can. :)
