Since a car is just a mode of transportation to you, I'd stick with the one you have. Your insurance is lower; your maintenance should still be minimal; your car should still be reliable. For some, a new car is a necessity. They love their vehicles and they're a lot more than just a way to get from A to B. For that type, I'd say get the new car, but you're not that type. Stick with your baby. She's done you well so far and has a lot of life left in her.
