Anyone ever gone from new car ownership to old car ownership?
I've put 5000 miles on my 220 trophy in the nearly two years I've owned it. It's not costing me much, <10% of monthly salary all in for loan, tax and insurance, but at the same time it would be nice to have no loan at all.
I could probably go car free, and get by using the zipcar on my road for the odd drive I do, but at the same time it would be nice to have something to jump in and go as needed.
Was thinking of going back to a 172 cup. Would be 10k better off (loan free), still have a car for the odd trip to the shop or to the vet with the dog etc, and be less precious about it.
Would it feel like a massive down grade to go back in the years?
