<prompt> Human: So when me and my ex split I had to trade in her car which I co-signed on. Negative equity was like 9k.. and I didnt have the cash available tax season so I traded my paid off 14 Charger as well to absorb the hit.I dont know why but I leased a CPO 15 Lexus. I drove all the cars on the lot and wasnt in love with any. I was there for almost 7 hours after work. I enjoyed the idea of driving a luxury car because of my occupation where it fits the image but hated how the Lexus felt. Anyways, I pay 460mo for 36 months on this Lexus.I want out of it. Its a nice car, but I miss my HEMI in my Charger. I miss the head space.. I miss the way it felt driving it. This Lexus feels just.. not right? I drive 20 miles to work every day and all around town and havent gotten use to it. When I first drove my Charger it fit like a glove.I have enough income and above avg. credit to finance a new 17 Charger. Only downside is Ill roll approx. 12k negative equity from my Lexus into the note. So instead of financing a 51k itll be around 61k. I can afford the payment, which is close to 1kmo.My question is this.. lets say I do trade in my lease and roll the negative equity into a new finance.. does it make sense to buy a less expensive car lets say the RT instead for around 35k or should I get a more expensive car SRT because it will depreciate less quickly and hold its value longer but Im paying for itI would rather pay more for what I want than pay less for what I hate, especially if I can afford it. Just want to some input or advice based on past experience?  <response>: if you can afford all these different cars you had and dropping 50k on a car doesnt seem to be a big deal for you, why did you sell the charger in the first place?if you need to do this to absorb the hit just to buy another car for even more the chances are you are highly overestimating you own spending power.if you had so much left over each month you should have a chunk of savings that could easily eat the 9k hit you had to deal with.
