<prompt> Human: Hello pf!Now i want to begin by saying I dont really have any financial issues and Im in pretty good shape money wise, so this is not a move of desperation. I also know that this is a first world problem so Im sorry if anyone thinks this is stupid.About 2 years ago, I bought a 2010 Audi A6 for about 30,000. Now I love the car, and I have absolutely zero problems with it, but Im starting to feel like maybe I love money more.The KBB value of my car is currently 24k, and its all paid off now. How easy would it be to sell my car and get a replacement car thats 5-10k? Whats a reliable cheap car thats still fairly nice to look at? Ive never sold a car before so Im not sure how much hassle there is. Is this something I should go for? I dont really NEED 14k-20k but I do have a mortgage I could pay off slightly faster with it. I really do enjoy my car but sometimes it kind of feels like a waste to have 30k tied up in a rapidly depreciating asset.TLDR: Have a nice car and no real money troubles, should I trade in for a cheap car?  <response>: How many miles does your Audi have? From a pure financial standpoint, it would be best to sell your car and buy a used Honda or something to reduce the amount you have tied up in a depreciating asset and decrease the total cost of ownership fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc..However, if you view the car as a hobby then maybe its not so bad depending on the rest of your budget. As long as you are meeting whatever goals you have set for yourself and those goals are actually good ones, then there is no problem with having nice cars. That being said, I currently own a 2012 BMW 135i also bought for about 30k and when I feel its getting up there in miles and what not, I will probably just trade it in outright for a new Honda civic or something that will last forever as my main mode of transportation and use the excess hobby money to fund a fun weekend car.
