What is best
varies by person, time, circumstances, etc.
Buy versus lease. New versus used. Repair versus buy. Is this the last repair? How will I feel if the new one is dinged in a parking lot? Is 90% good enough? Where can I get it repaired?
Trade-in versus sell it yourself? Hassle versus maybe more? Risk versus reward?
My idea of fun and yours don't have to match. My aspirational car varies as my son's family expands and I find myself wanting a mini-van again for trips to the fair, the kindergarten play, etc. I essentially traded the mini-van that was my wife's for the Porsche 6 years ago. And the seller of my first P-car replaced it with a Hummer to accommodate her expanding family.
Ain't life grand.
