Keep your car as long as it is running well and safe. If it becomes a money pit needing persistent repairs as many old cars do then buy yourself a used car you can afford.
It's nice to have a nice car and for maybe a week it makes you feel good about yourself then it's just a car. When I thought I was important I had mercedes and BMWs but now that I know I am a pleb like everyone else our family has one car. A 2019 Nissan Rogue.
It has been reliable so far. I actually drove it across the US a couple months ago. Midwest to the east coast.

Wow that's great.

Yeah, it runs very reliably. I hope I can make it last to 300k!
