It doesn't sound like you even remotely need a new car so why are you looking? You're going to spend $18,000 to get a warrrenty? You could rebuild and replace every moving part on your 9-5 for half that-not that you'd need to. I've been in the car business for many years and I'm always amazed at the flimsy reasons people use as a rationale to buy a different car. Personally I think it's just boredom. Keep your 9-5 for another five years, take the $18K and buy something fun like a Harley, a used motorhome, a used Porche or Saab convertible, a boat or jet ski, you could even get a used airplane. Or you could pay your home down an extra $18K. Throwing it away on dpereciation to get a car that's little different from the one you own isn't going to accomplish much of anything.
