Lost love of cars the more I can afford them??
Discussion
Is there anyone out there in a similar situation to me who can help please.
I used to love cars, constantly changing every 6 months or so to get the next one.
I started in my 20's and bought my cars outright, saved and bought the next one etc.
Then as my income increased, I invested in property etc and finances are free flowing...yet my urge to buy the cars I used to desire, is no longer there!
I would dream of e63, c63, m4, rs7, i8, california, gallardo etc etc when I didnt have the money, but buying one no longer appeals to me as I can now afford them, I dont have the urge.
Not sure if its just an age thing or novelty wearing off kind of thing?
I constantly find myself looking at older cars on autotrader now, 2013 a7, 640d, cls, panamera etc as I feel more than 15k on a car is too much now, even though I could purchase any new, I just feel comfortable spending less?
I am continually investing in property, my friends suggest leasing, but I feel it might be a waste. I work from home and have a run around for now, so not wanting lease commitments, probably get bored after 6 months?
My idea of buying used was to swap and change, get a decent deal and not lose too much come resale.
I used to easily splurge 25k+ in cars, sell for similar money, sometimes make a profit, but it no longer appeals to me.
Feel as if im bored of it, is there anyone in a similar situation who feels this way too? I kinda feel with the lack of work commute it takes away the love of driving. Shopping trips, weekend drives are ok but do miss that aspect of driving to work.
I used to love the finding aspect of a car, travelling to see it, do the deal and drive home. Sometimes that was better than the actual car haha. My wife tells me to delete the autotrader app lol.
Not sure if I explained it fully but is there anyone similar to me, or am I a lost cause lol. What have you done in that situation. Thanks
