Crockers, I completely understand your logic, why change? Recently I changed my car, I had no reason to. So why did I do it? Because the gap is always getting bigger between the value of your current car and any newer (not necessarily brand new), model. At some point in time, you have to accept that the money isn’t coming in to be able to own and run a ‘decent and reliable car’, so taking the plunge for as long as you can, I believe, is the only way to have something that may keep going and not be a money pit at a back street garage. That is why I changed. I honestly can’t see us changing again now, friends say I will, but I just can’t see how I will be able to afford a decent car in 5 years time. I hope my second hand, low mileage D5 will give us 10 years or more reliable and comfortable motoring. PCP, no thank you. I know people who are already in negative equity. Each to their own.
