Just to be clear on my stance.
This is my 2nd brand new vehicle purchase ever. The first was my EVO and because of me babying it so much, it's NEVER given me a mechanical problem except ONE time I was racing a Mustang GT and the water pump went out. Other than that, I've had no other defects to the car in 14yrs.
My stance is, baby a brand new vehicle and it will treat you right. I bought the SS for pleasure driving only. Hence, I don't have to drive it all the time just because it's a new car and I need to 'get my money's worth'. Vehicles with low miles are valued more than ones with lots of miles. I may not ever trade this one in, but I may depending on what the later gens have. Low miles would make the resale value optimal. Also, these things may end up being classics and the low miles ones will be worth more.
In any case, I'm in it for the long haul. TX is just too damn hot to enjoy riding everyday and there's way too many dumb drivers out there. I'd feel more comfortable cruising really early in the morning, and preferably on the weekends. I also prefer to 'not care about miles' after the loan is paid off.
