You are the rare exception then. The vast majority of people who buy new for big ticket items replace them when the "newness" has worn off not when they reach some nominal zero value.
Even then from a financial point of view, you are better off buying 3-7yrs old where it may have used 10-20% of it's life but the price has gone down by 25-50%.
If it makes you happy, go for it but don't for a second fool yourself into thinking you made a financially based choice.
