When I read that you want to buy back a car you love, my first question is, "why did you sell it in the first place?" You don't have to answer me, but ask yourself. If you sold it cus it was getting older and would soon need all parts replaced, or you're in the middle of replacing piece by piece, or you have some other debt you wanted to clear by the profits of the sale, then don't buy it back. Buying back your car because there is an emotional attachment might sound good but in the long run, its not financially a good decision. Lets put the emotion stuff in a different light. People get attached to their pets, they become like family, yet they don't live as long as people so they will die long before we do yet we get pets anyways and enjoy them as long as we can. Like our pets, we outlive our vehicles life and we name our vehicles just as we name our pets. Our cars are something we see all the time and use pretty much every day, so I can see the attachment. However it falls into the category of a 'tool' we use to make life easier on us, and our pets are not tools. The exception is the guide dogs which are a tool and becomes a pet as well.
I am trying to say, that you will own different cars along the years of your life. Can you see holding on to all of them just because you loved all of them, even if none of them are still running? It is best to find a car that runs well, isn't too expensive or hard to get to parts to fix as that adds cost with mechanics, and maybe even the cost of tabs on different vehicles, the gas mileage and cost for fill ups, and so on. Consumer Reports is a good place to find out which products are terrific and which are lemons.
