We briefly considered buying a old Toyota or Honda cheap clown car, keep the SRT8, fix / maintain it, use it for special occasions. But the math didn't work out.

My wife used to do 40k a year commuting to and from work. Back to the new and under warranty thing, we used to buy a new Jetta diesel for her every year. The cost savings in fuel - they got ridiculous good gas mileage on the highway - vs gas covered the up charge and saved a couple of hundred on top on the monthly nut.
My point - look at one of the dieselgate cars if you can find one. They’ll have a power train warranty through 24 and be pretty much fully depreciated by now.
