Default Did you buy new or used?

With the large number of threads here about used car prices, PPI's etc., I'm curios as to what percentage of members bought new as opposed to used?

Me: First two Porsches, a 944 and a Boxster S, were new. Presently looking for a 997.2 used when my IMS money shows up.

997S barely used (10,038) miles.

The Boss302 I HAD to buy new because there isn't a used market for a Laguna Seca (750 total) - you're lucky to see even one or two for sale in the entire country.

All 4 of my 911s new….leased 3 and bought the last one when lease was up. The only used car I ever bought was a 1965 mustang in 1967.

I bought all three Porsches used. I don't regret that, although ordering a "paint to sample" custom 911 is on my bucket list.

I ordered my wife's Audi SQ5 new earlier this year. There is something nice about ordering one just the way you want it...
