Except that I also don't want to give up the wheels, even if they're somewhat humble. I may go Buddhist, but I'm not going to take the damn train everywhere.

Buy a good one and take care of it. I'd lease if I could, but I drive too much. I'm going to try to keep the two I have for 200,000 miles. I used to flip them at 60 to 80k, but when you do the math, with all the transfer costs and annoyance built into that cycle, you're better off just keeping a good one for the really long haul. A Japanese or German car will do 200k highway miles easily if you take care of it.
The beaten in thing is nice. The badge just fell off the hood of one of them, and it's a good a pile of dinks on it. Gives it a nice worn in look, and nobody will want to steal it.
