Maybe we should think of it this way.
We needed a car a year ago to get to work. We got lucky and there was a pretty nice reliable Chevy available that we could afford, and we happily bought it with our limited funds. It has been quit serviable for us and might continue to be. But today we have the wonderful opportunity and the finances to buy a new BMW, which is obviously more exciting to drive, and seems to fit our personality better. Should we buy it? And if so, should we simply trade the Chevy in and lose the depreciation, keep it and try to sell it ourselves later to a desperate buyer who may pay more, or just hold on to it just in case the luxurious Beemer should ever break down or it turns out that we don't like it as much as we liked the more pedestrian Chevy.
Living so modestly all my life and realizing now that I may never be in this position to splurge a little, kick off my shoes and really enjoy life, I would go for it. Heck, we only live once. I would take advantage of my position and buy the Beemer, then begin building a nice garage for it. I would go ahead and find a nice home for my beloved Chevy, hoping its new owner will took good care of it. I'll miss it, but I can get another Chevy, if and when the Beemer should ever fail me.
