Well done you for buying the best at the time. It's the philosophy I always use. The last 2 cars I bought were the most expensive in the country at the time due to mileage and condition as i drive them both regularly putting several thousand miles a year on so wanted them to be as good as possible to start with. They have cost me nothing except regular servicing for 4 years now and they are both over 10 years old. Buying the cheapest possible only means spending the money later anyway.
