So I buy new and enjoy not having to work on it. The dealer can work on it if it needs something fixed during the warranty period. When the warranty is up, I move onto something else new. And I pay cash.
When I want to be reminded of what it’s like to have to piddle around on some gremlin in a car, I always have my 2006 Mini Cooper S.

I know many people just like you, and there is not one thing wrong with it. Some of my friends are just the point of wanting to work on cars, and they really like the gizmos of the new cars, and have more money than they will ever be able to spend.
One of the guys in our local PCA region just loves new car smell I guess. He is in a 2022 911 Turbo S right now and he has had it almost 9 months. He had a 911 GT3RS before that, and various new 911s before that. He never keeps a car a full year. We tease him that the tag agency sens him a birthday card for all the business he brings. The funny thing is those high end cars are in such demand he often makes a few bucks or breaks even by selling them to a individual. His salesman at the dealership sure jumps up and runs over to him when he walks in the door.
