Unhappy Help!! New car dilemma

Here's my story, I'll try to make it as short and clear as possible.

I have an 01 CL-S with 137K on the ticker. We just got a new 335i.

In 5 years (approx 2013) we plan to get married, get a place and start life.

The issue is, will my CL last me 5 more years?
I'm thinking "maybe" With the tranny issues and now my axels are bad, I dont want it to turn into a money pit!

In 5 years (or so) I will have to buy an engagement ring, save for a house and pay for a wedding. That sh%ts expensive!! I dont want to drive around a beat-up CL that will be 12 years old (eek) Sure we have the beemer, from what I see, when the time comes that I will actually NEED a new car (in the future) I may not be able to afford one.

I feel like I have a window of opportunity that will be closed soon


Does that make sense?

Please help!
I need to:
a. fall back in love with my CL
b. get into a new car

It's confusing for others if you use CLS and CL interchangeably

since they are completely different cars altogether
my bad..Acura CL Type S

her time has come

I say stay with the CL. Honda powered FTW.

Put the money you would have paid towards a new car into a seperate bank account...
