Many financial experts will suggest you either never buy a new vehicle, or you only buy new when your net worth exceeds a million dollars. That being said, we did buy new in 2012. There IS something very enjoyable about driving a vehicle in pristine condition right off the lot. However, it's mostly downhill from there. Before long the car feels 'used' because of your own contributions to the wear and tear, and rather than a few thousand dollars spent on an upside-down purchase, your a few dozens of thousands in the hole.
