[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have to worry about depreciating value, then you can't afford to own a BMW.  Stick with the Honda or lease the BMW. I own a German car and know that it's costly to maintain.  [/quote]

I can afford it and I still like to consider value over time. I'm sure the OP can afford it as well.  It's not necessary to make these comments.[/quote]

OP here.  I'm not offended, rather bemused.  Just because I *can* afford something doesn't mean I *want* to spend the money on something.  This is a philosophical difference, as we each have our own view on what's worth it to us.  Ascetic would be a strong word, but I tend in that direction, and actually really love the idea of driving a safe, reliable, nondescript car for years and years with no payments (and took pride in doing so with the car I had before getting married.)  When we have a car payment, I always think of what else we could be doing with that money, esp. the idea of lost opportunity of not investing it.  My DH is not reckless, but not as conservative with money as I am, so we balance each other out.  [/quote]
