If no one bought new where would the used stuff come from?
When I drive uo into a customer's driveway in a late model pickup to give them an estimate it doesn't look like I'm a shlep. It looks like I'm successful. And perceptions and salesmanship is a big part of my getting work.
And my pickup doesn't leak oil in their driveway - pretty important when you're working on a fancy home.
I work hard at my job and really don't want to have to spend my weekend installing a new tranny in my pickup so I can get to work on Monday.
If I have to work I'd rather spend my time working as a carpenter where I make about 3 times what I'd make with my limited mechanic skills.
Maybe I've just been lucky but the new pickups I've owned have been totally reliable. This makes me more reliable and I get more work because of it.
And again, going back to the tax part of it, If I can't show enough business expenses I just pay more in taxes. So my choice is give Uncle Sam more of my money or ride around in a nice new pickup. What would you do?
I know it's not quite that simple but you get the idea.
I understand that buying new is not in everyone's budget and not in everyone's best interest.
But for some people, given their financial, social or other factors, buying new is what works best for them.
Who could have a problem with that?

George bought his Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00. There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken by Harold alone to bring it up to show standard.
