Not really.
I had a small runabout for years and was perfectly happy with it.
Until it needed the mechanical equivalent of heart surgery !
Found a local used car dealer who gave me a good price on a version ten years younger and ran with that until I'd paid for it outright then they bought it back in exchange for something better at a discounted price way below book price.
Twice the power. Twice the space. Same monthly payment as the little one.

@Picklebobble2 Well played!

@Bumbles Never had a mechanical issue but the reason I continue to pay monthly rather than buy outright is the fact that should it go wrong the repairs are theirs to deal with not mine !
And if I look to upgrade I could probably afford to do so 3/4 of the way through the repayments.
Kinda like having a rental car but with only one driver

@Picklebobble2 Makes a lot of sense. Could have made 7k when I bought out a lease (used car market went nuts for a while) but my kid needed a car!
