It makes no financial sense to buy a new car, but at some point when your only car is 14 years old you start thinking about potential hassles if it eventually starts having problems, and I want to avoid that problem. I grimace, though, because the apricot Z looks and drives like it's brand new.

It's a tough call once it starts getting that old since you can absorb some repairs and still be ahead vs. something newer. Particularly if it has been reliable to that point but aging German cars can get bad.
