I bought a new car recently because the cars that I liked used that  
didn't suck were not much different once you calculated costs over the  
next 5-10 years.

I really don't have time or skills for repair work, and since I got a  
little Japanese car, I don't expect to pay much in repair bills anyway.

The high resale value means changing my mind is less painful than some  
other choices.

The cars I would have liked, really liked, even used, were well above  
what I could afford anyway.

The fact that my then-current car was rapidly dying also put a bit of  
a time limit on making the purchase.
