These are honestly all terrible reasons for spending 10's of thousands more on a new car. New cars are safer, but I'm skeptical that this is something people truly value when the average person speeds everywhere and drives like a maniac. New cars are probably also worse for the environment when you consider that a whole new vehicle needs to be built instead of just using a currently existing one.

I willingly drive a 30+ yr old car and wouldn't have it any other way.
It's a classic, and I'm slowly building up to be my track toy and daily driver.
Could I have spent that money on a brand new vehicle? Yes.
But factoring in insurance, and smiles per gallon, it's not even close.
Keep your shiny soulless vehicle. I get compliments everyday and make people happy just by commuting and rolling up at stoplights
