[QUOTE="DDHRocks, post: 175190, member: 3489"] I bought my 2015 used in 2016, I paid $70k for it. I drove it for two months and then got laid off from a job I had for almost 20 years. My financial manager and I sat down and in the end he said, "Keep the car, it's your dream car, you can always sell it later if money gets tight". I never regretted buying it. It was a great low maintenance car (except for the oil changes, geez!). My other two vehicles were way more expensive to maintain (2012 Dodge Journey and an old Ford-made Jaguar X-Type that we inherited). In the end I ended up trading the car in for a new SUV this year. It held it's value enough that I had decent equity in it. The main issue was that my other two vehicles were pieces of crap with no value. I miss the car for sure, but it's not a huge deal. So in the end, you can always sell the car after you enjoy it for a while. Now I'm looking at the new C8 and getting that urge again. The only issue is that the wife says it's her turn for a new car... [/QUOTE]
