Ever replaced your car... with the same model?

[Matt UK]

It's never something I've done before.

I'm looking at chopping the wife's RX300 and having had a look around at suitable alternatives, she's decided that what she would like the best is... another Lexus RX300.

[davidjpowell]

Not directly.

Did have a C320 cdi merc, and via a couple of other cars, ended up back with a C320 cdi merc...

[ZesPak]

Yes,

Bought a new 159 (company car), some bint drove into me when it was two weeks old, got it replaced (her insurance), afterwards left the company an bought my own 159.

[Justayellowbadge]

My ex's sister does it with a Ford Ka every three years.

Madness to me, but some people seem to have a morbid fear of the MOT process.

[PurpleMoonlight]

Yep, went from a X5 4.4 to an X5 4.6, both black too.

Surprisingly, there was a noticeable difference in performance.

Is the existing RX about to explode in a ball of flame?

[BarnatosGhost]

Not quite. I keep trying to break away, but after flirtations with other cars and marques, I'm on my 3rd E39 now. I spend a lot of time looking for something that suits me better, but I can't find it.

When I was a lad my Dad did this habitually. Hilman imp, hilman imp, rover sd1, rover sd1, white xr3i cab, white xr3i cab, merc 190E, merc 190E, focus, focus, 911, 911, 911.

Kind of:

Peugeot 205XS > 205 1.6 GTI > Renault 5 GT Turbo > 205 1.9 GTI > Golf GTI MkII 16v > 205 1.6 GTI

I'm thinking of replacing my 159 Lusso with a 159 Ti.

[SteveS Cup]

106 XSI to a 106 GTI

172 Cup to a normal 172 due to a little (HUGE) incident in the Cup!

Not quite, but it's leggy, past it's best and starting to annoy me a bit.
IMO bills are looming and I'd rather put the money into something a bit fresher.

[tucks]

along time ago i had a few calibras in a row. if i think about how much i spent on a car which is worth about $15 nowerdays id probably blow my own head off.

[Marf]

Yes - well same model but higher specification.

Went to my local Alfa dealer to look at a black one a while ago. When I was about to leave I spotted a white one on the forecourt, but it was sold. Looked stunning though.

[nobodyknows]

Had two classic minis and two Fiat Coupe 20VTs.

[CypherP]

I went from an E46 325ci and after a couple of years of owning it, I then bought a facelift E46 325ci. Loved the engine and overall feel and couldn't find anything else I wanted more.

[Triumph Man]

B5 Passat TDI >>> B5.5 Passat TDI, I like the old Passats. As a tool though.

[mgmrw2003]

Personally NO. But my father had a phase where he used to have 2 of everything 1 after another; 2 sierras. 2 rover 800s. 2 rover 214s. Heading for his 2nd discovery.

My mate (mechanic too) is now on his 2nd derv mondeo, 3rd diesel ford.

My uncle, is on his 5th focus 1600, before that had 4 escort 1600s, and 3 astra 1400s


Ex OHs father had 2 picassos 1 after another, 2 puntos 1 after another, and last i heard was about to buy 2nd focus


Another mate is on 2nd volvo. Had a tired (beaten) c70, weighed it in against a s60. Now hunting for another c70
