I read a sentence, "Aunque es caro, me lo voy a comprar." I don't know why it needs "me".
Can I just say "Aunque es caro, lo voy a comprar"?

You use me, if you are going to buy it for yourself.

anaperuana is correct. Just to clarify in this case the me is the indirect object pronoun not a reflexive pronoun.

Hola, gringojrf. Thank you for telling me the “me” is an indirect object pronoun. Honestly, l thought it was a reflexive pronoun. - joygogo, Aug 17, 2013
