<prompt> Human: My current car is paid off. Im at 29.3k miles. The bumper to bumper expires at 3 years or 36k miles and the power train is 60k miles. Got my trade in value at about 10k and I could get into a new car with about 3800 miles for about 17k after all the fees making the amount i need to finance around 7k. My car still runs nice and everything but Im just wondering it itd be a wise choice to trade it in now where I could get a new car for 7k instead of waiting till my current car isnt worth much, hope nothing goes wrong, then eventually needing a new car anyway at full price. What do you guys think?Edit: thanks everyone. Sounds like staying payment free and just setting aside the money is the best way to go. Appreciate your time.  <response>: 30k miles is hardly even broken in. Drive it till the wheels fall off.
