Somewhere around 20, not counting the cars that have been "family cars," as I consider them my wife's. Four of them Corvettes. And probably a dozen motorcycles too- Harleys and Hondas. Only new vehicle I've ever owned was an '05 Harley Sportster, bought while I was mad at Honda for not getting the parts in for my Magna. Turned out to be a good mad decision- absolutely loved that little Harley.
Total of one moving violation in all my years of driving. It was written for 48 in a 25 while going to the hospital to check on my dad, written by a cranky old goat in my hometown who had zero compassion. After he retired and I was the one with the badge and gun, I had the pleasure of stopping HIM for speeding. Karma, my friends, bites. Even if it takes a while.

20 total. That is both cars and trucks combined, and not counting the wife's cars. I'm not even going to get into all the motorcycles, because I'm pretty sure I lost count a while back. Heck, I have 5 Harley's currently.

Over 50 since 1962, I will not attempt to put them down. That is cars (6 of which were Vettes) and 4x4 PU trucks. My wife also has bought a few SUVs on her own.

Most were new purchased and what is called "loaded" by the car sellers.

I made good money did a lot of driving due to work and changed rides often.

Now retired, doing less driving and getting more years between changes.

My list should come in at least impressive, for sure!
Almost an even split for auto vs. manual.

1973 Fiat 124 Spider - MT
1975 Ford Maverick - AT
1980 C3 Vette - AT
1984 Ford Bronco - MT
1985 Pontiac Fiero - MT
1987 Dodge D100 - MT
1989 Toyota Pickup - MT (current)
1992 Ford F150 - AT
1998 C5 Vette - AT (current)
2004 Chevy Avalanche - AT (current)

1997 Honda VLX-600
1999 Suzuki SV-650
2002 Honda VTX-1800
2003 Kawasaki Z-1000

All the Bikes were purchased new, none of the cars/trucks - not even close, lol!

Closest to new car I purchased was for my long time GF.
Last August for her 50th Birthday, I surprised her with a one year off lease 2018 Camaro RS Vert

The 1989 Toyota Pickup happened last April by chance. I fecking love that little truck!
