I've just never been one that has to have the latest and greatest of anything, I've never owned a new car, I've had no desire for one and wouldn't waste the money even if I hit the lottery. I've always seen the value of waiting until prices come down then buying what I want. To me, it's gratifying knowing I waited and now I have it while I've saved a lot of money. Sometimes it will be used, sometimes new but an older model, to me it doesn't matter. I take care of what I have and I'll make repairs to keep things going rather then replace as long as I can. Example, my old John Deere 140 garden tractor was built mid 70's, I bought it used in the 80's. I've rebuilt the engine twice, both the mower deck and the snow blower I've striped down, cut out rusted sheet metal, welded in new and repainted them. I'll keep it going as long as I possibly can, I love that old tractor and see no reason to replace it. I know some of the neighbors think I should get a new one and they can't figure me out, I really, really don't care what they think.
