My Skoda octavia is 10 years old with 120k on the clock. Will need a few hundred pounds of work this year (at least). I’d like to buy a brand new one (should cost around £20k after trade in).
I’m 42, married, 2 kids under 7. I’d like to retire age 50 - 55.
Annual expenses 40k ( actually closer to 30 but I round up for safety). Have 1.2 million in vanguard all world across various accounts and a government DB pension valued at around 600k which will probably pay at least 50% of my annual expenses from age 55. Income around £130k per year.
I mean, it seems stupid to ask if I can buy it but it goes against my frugal nature. I think the new car would make my commute much better and probably safer.
So, any reason I shouldn’t buy it?
