Mini cooper S lasted 11 years before i sold it. Money is not that big of a deal. Maximum enjoyment feasible adds decades of life. I simply need advice from people who know the cars i chose in the poll. There also is no news of the “new” twins. Last news said they will exist, news in the spring said they are toast. I dont know validity of people assuming the 2.4 ascent motor being stuck in one of these. Too much speculation for a time where i could easily be dead before that.

Now that is interesting advice. That whole thing made me think. Current interest rates do make me finance as i put my cash into my business. This is a workable perspective you have there though. Hm!

You are not breaking even no matter what you are getting for the car right now and it most certainly isn't "magically" upgrading you to a new blemish free one. There is no magic just money thrown away.

You don't care about money but your 4 cars on your poll are ~$26k cars? And you're trying to trade it in now because you can get the most money for it now. gtfoh. If money is no issue, you can get a much better car than a Veloster. Get a Porsche or an M3 or LC or Corvette. But I'm guessing you're just full of __it?

There is no such thing as magic. You have a car now that will last decades if you take care of it. a $5000 paint job in 15 years is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new car today. Or if you hate it, trade up. You can get in a slightly used Porsche or Corvette, or save up for the c8. Or if you like the car so much you want to keep it pristine, buy a used 2013 for $10k or so and beat the crap out of it. Buying new is always a bad deal. I bought my car 1 year old with 3k miles for $7k off. And that was a bad deal because I could have bought a 2013 FRS for even less. |

Save a little more and buy this
Edit: I have seen this now: "I have yet to seriously feel a difference between this and a fwd with mechanical differential." So I change my advice to this, you won't feel any difference Don't think I hate FW cars. I love them. But they are really different man.. Last edited by korhun; 08-15-2019 at 11:33 AM. |

Trading one car payment for another, especially for a duplicate vehicle, seems kinda dumb. 21k miles is practically new anyway. Get the car detailed, buy a new car smell air freshener, and call it a day.
