Like the title states, I have been throwing around 3 scenarios in my head where both involve selling my GTI for an older 5-series. I one debt (mortgage), one child, one wife, and a 128i. I want to apply for graduate school soon which either I will pay my own way or have assistance for the company I work for. This car will have full time duty for winter and some use in summer, 128i is just too much fun!!
The first scenario is where I pick up a 540i around the 5-6k price point. Stipulations are no winters and well maintained. I have my garage full of tools so I can tackle jobs like cooling system replacement and such. Throw in an aftermarket head unit for apple carplay capability, and keep $1k around for maintenance and pocket the remainder for graduate school.
Second scenario is sell the GTI, use the low interest rates to finance 5-10k worth of car. Keep $1k around each year for maintenance.
Third scenario is forget all this car malarky, and enjoy having all cars pid off and pick up a car when I acquire a new position after I graduate.
Edit: My wife usually drives her Rav4, unless she decides to take my 1er or GTI for a spin!
