I would go for the same way of thinking, but, since I not swimming in golden water or coins, I ould have to consider residual value.
My father did when it was time to change the car, the Thesis was the top of the list, but has a residual value as high as that of the Croma, which cost about 20.000 € less. So, the Thesis (100th Edition) stayed where it was.
It's a shame, but if something you have to face if you intend to save some money, or aren't rich enough to don't bother.
