I agree. I bought a 09 Civic new last year (cash) because if you take a look at the prices of the used ones, it isn't too much more. I ended up paying the base price for the second best model due to a shipping error and didn't need to pay new title registration as well. I travel a bit for work and the car will pay for itself a few times over with the reimbursements I receive if I keep it long enough.
Currently, I have 2 DDs (civic and E55). It doesn't make sense for me to keep the E55 with how much more economical my honda is but I just can't bring myself to getting rid of it.
