If you read other PF blogs and sites, they all agree that buying a new car is a dumb idea.  They talk about depreciation, car payments, added insurance, etc.

So a couple weeks ago, I bought a brand new car.  It is an 07, but it's still new. 

I did this knowing full well that 20-somethings are crushing their juice boxes in frustration, and knowing that after all the math and all the rationale has been done, it was the right choice.

Do you ever have to ignore solid and reasonable advice simply because there is a better way?  Do you ever feel guilty for doing so?
