You never really know what life will bring your way.
I'll definitely grant you that, but it's more a question of financial sense, rather than making bold decisions on factors out of your control. Since we already have two, and the plan is to start on number three here in just a few months, I have to go with the statistical chances. Selling a car just a few years into owning it is a bad idea, as lumberjim was pointing out earlier.
Selling a house a mere 4-5 years into it, on the other hand, can actually be a great idea, especially if you've made improvements to it. So our current house doesn't have to be big enough for more kids (and believe me, it isn't)--but car purchases have to last us a lot longer, so we can't afford to take the chance that we will have those kids after all. I'm a pragmatist, that's all.
