Enthusiasts definitely makes decisions about cars and parts that confuse me. Like the OP, why spend money on a new car only to get something "better" within a couple of years. I never understood people who bought mods for cars they don't yet own---or dump like $10k into a car all at once.
But you know, there are likely people out there who look at my decisions and also shake their heads. At the end of the day though, who really cares? I mean does it really matter how people spend their money? Just because it doesn't fit my approach doesn't really mean it's actually wrong.
And for the record there are 4 cars in my household:
VW Corrado: Owned 19 yrs
Hyundai Tucson: Owned 9 yrs (and with 146k miles)
BMW M3: Owned 4 yrs
Jeep SRT: Owned 7 months (nothing traded in for this)
I'm not someone who typically jumps to trade cars, unless I really don't like driving the car or it's a problem. I don't want to keep my M3 forever, but I still enjoy it, so I haven't really considered selling it in any serious way. If someone made me a strong offer though, I'd certainly give it some thought.
