Should I trade my 2005 Infiniti fx35 in for a new Camry?

[vjustice4all]

I have been going back and forth in my head as to if I should get a new car. I am afraid that going from a luxury vehicle to a common vehicle would leave me dissatisfied. However, the practical side of me says that I could save a lot of money if I downsized. My infiniti has 87,000 miles on it and I feel that very soon the problems may begin. What do you think? What would you do? What would be the pros and cons

Get a Nissan instead. It's made by the same company. The "shock" of downgrading will not seem so traumatic to you.

I say stick with the FX. They don't have an enormous number of issues, even at that age, and any money you save on maintenance is going to be eaten up by a whole bunch of car payments, unless by some fluke they offer to trade you even up.
