How others spend is their business. If they buy a new vehicle every few years with low miles, it’s great for them. Not everything is money like this guy. Fretting out every dollar they spend. If they enjoy the results, why worry or waste energy. Everything could be paid off, combined or a single monthly retired high income for a lifetime. No worries on dents, depreciation, only buying a far superior vehicle. And then pick up another. It’s like buying a boat. You can buy a rowboat with no motor that can last forever. Or a great sports fisherman or go boat to have a blast in. It’s quality of life that is true value. You have all your financial needs already covered. Have fun with a small percentage of your money. Some of our fun with our earnings were educating our kids, helping them towards a home. Not only ourselves clinging onto every cent. Do a lot of travel and enjoy more than sitting on top of a Boulder in a 4x4. Many wives would prefer to go in a clean vehicle going to nice dinners. Than making mud pies out on some forlorn ravine. We want exercise, we hit the gym.

You’re kind of speaking out of both sides of your mouth here. New Jeeps are comfortable and reliable. Old Jeeps are not as comfortable and probably not as reliable either (like any old used vehicle). You mention the worst aspects of each as if every Jeep is uncomfortable and unreliable. Not true. Who says you need to scratch up and dent a Jeep whenever it goes off-road? Perfectly possible to have some fun off-road without damaging the vehicle. Sounds like a Jeep may actually be the ideal vehicle for your situation.
