I've had my car (a 2003 Chevrolet Malibu) for 2 years now. I've attempted to trade it in twice, but given how much I drive the car (it currently has 85,000 miles on it, and I deliver pizzas), it's worth about half of what I owe on it. In addition, though still under warranty, it has cost me a small fortune in deductibles to fix shit that has gone wrong on it. Given that I've replaced so much on it (and it had to have a major tranny repair at 40,000 miles), hopefully, I'm good for awhile.

I'm leaning towards a Jeep Wrangler or Subaru as my next new car...they have both in the UK, don't they? Good cars...and perfect for what you're looking for.

I don't understand the philosophy of replacing a car every three years. It seems like a tremendous waste of money, time and resources to me.

Never trade in. You will loose your shirt. Sell the car on your own and get the profit the dealer would have otherwise taken from your pocket.
