If you’re thinking of buying and selling often but more concerned about the TCO, sticking with a Toyota is likely your best bet. Unless you’re totally loaded like Zuckerberg, money will be a consideration during any trade up process.
I try to justify it like this: I don’t really have any other vices (don’t smoke drink or pay for hookers and blow). I am financially at a point where I can drive and own some of the cars I’ve always wanted. With that said, I don’t try to lose my shirt when trading and I try to get a good deal on the purchase. Sometimes that means waiting for over a year waiting for the right timing, deal or scenario. Cars are a depreciating asset 99% of the time. I think as long as you understand that before you go in, then AFAIC, it’s your money and it can fit into your budget without sacrificing your future then you should spend it on what makes you happy.
