Main Junction (The Road Not Taken)

Here is a dilemma.

You have found the one you're very interested in. You like it. It likes you too (not sure how to believe that, but it somehow does.) Very flashy. From hair to toe, I mean, from the front grill to the back bumper, everything seems perfect. It clearly shows class. You can't help but stare every time it passes. The interior is also clean. It is simply attractive. But there's a probability that you can't stick with it for as long as you want it to be. It's affordable in the beginning, but could become very costly later. Maintenance could be an issue.

Then you realize that you need something more stable. One that would run way longer and you know it would. It would also stick for a very loonggg time. It's more expensive now, not as flashy, but less maintenance and more affordable over time. You don't want to part with it even after long years and it's very likely that you don't have to part with it anyway.

What do you do? Which one do you go with?
