I employ the buy & hold thinking,
1999 MB E300TD bought w/ 55K in 2003, now 288K looking to get 350K+
1983 MB 300D inherited 8 yrs ago w/ 122K, now 228K winter driver
I bought the MB with the assistance of windfall profit from a home I owned for 6 months, sold during the real estate rocket days. I figured on $20K+ for a car, after taxes the gain went to the car.
I have never purchased a new vehicle for myself, DW yes, but not me.
I have my sights on a MB S350 diesel bluetec when I retire, but I think nearly the entire last year salary, after taxes etc, will go for that boat.... Maybe if I delay FIRE for a year.....
I will probably be practical and replace with an E class.
