Default Would you keep this car another 4 years?

It's one of those days where I am contemplating getting a new car

It seems to happen cyclical but today is one of those days. No particular reason but I'm wondering how much longer I will keep it (in the back of my head I hope forever)

I'm wondering what the maintenance costs will be over the next 4 years and if its worth it or not - a trouble free car without rattles sounds very appealing right now but I must admit I still love my car...

I do still get compliments on it so maybe its like dating a hot chick for a while: expensive, great fun, needs lots of attention...but you get a little bored of it sometimes and new talent looks pretty appealing

Go stage 3 and you will lose those thoughts.

Default I ask that question all the time.

The thought of a new style interior and no squeeks/rattles is appealing. If it comes down to it, my wife's sedan goes but the avant stays.

Default In your case I wouldn't have too many doubts...such a unique car and

it has all the bells and whistles. Do you still have high maintenance costs every year even with all the work done?

Default If possible make it your weekend car and buy a honda or toyota for DD

It will suck because your comute will then get boring...but It get you through the work week because you get excited about getting into the S to remind why you kept it and noy sold it!!!
