Default Time to sell up for something newer?

Thought on the above please..................

Getting married september and we're paying for it, so I can't do it RIGHT this second, but I'd like to possibly at the end of the year or start 09.
I currently have a 4x4 saph which I've spent quite a bit of dough on recently, basically everything will be new/almost and all repainted etc. I'm not an impulsive person and like to think/plan these things in advance so whatever i decide now is better.

So do I keep it and buy a "Nice" car aka everday drive to work thing(apart from my lovely base model punto), or do i buy the likes of an Evo(sell the saph) or generally something modern and fast???
Quite curiuos about the whole EVO scene tbh, a few of my mates have had them/got them and I do quite like the 5/7/9 models.
Thing is i do quite fancy a RR vogue aswell and that's the preffered option at the moment and just keep the saph

Anyway, if your bored enough at work, tell me what you think?

Ha ha, well u never know
Keeping it is obviously the sensible option, if i hadn't taken it apart in the first place i would have sold it ages ago, and i have always had this feeling that if i did sell it, i would end up buying another one anyway, so i didn't see the point, but I've had the same car 7 years now, so i guess it's the "7 year" itch.....

7 years and you have spent a bob or two in that time (spesh recently) are you sure you want to sell and you aint just gettin sick of it being off the road?

PMSL wish I hadn't mentioned the wedding bit!


Dunno if i can justufy the cossie and EVO bit tho, that's the problem, i want something luxury and not fast like a 4x4 and a pefrormance car aswell, the evo doesn't fit that bill, but I'm getting bored with the sierra.

M5 or a Range Rover.

Both are good everyday cars.

Evo's are nice but at least enjoy the cash you have spent on the saph before you think about selling it
