New or used, you can always find a way to justify the purchase. Let your money bring you happiness.

Husker - very well said.....

Most of us work(ed) damn hard to afford something we really want - whether its a used Porsche, a set of really good golf clubs, a new kitchen for the house or a mink coat (like Mike Focke had to pay), it doesn't matter. If you do the sums and you calculate you can come out in the black and the Finance Director who your married to give you the nod, then why not.
Personally I went with a used Boxster S, simply because I couldn't justify $US180,000 in Australia for a new one in 2008.

PS - which do you prefer driving - the Boxster or the Cayman.......what a dilemma that must be on a warm Omaha morning !!
