Is there New Car Smell in my future?

In the spring of 2008, I bought a new car.  This was an incredibly difficult decision for me because I am weird and was absolutely in love with my old car.  It was a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport, red.  It had almost 200,000 miles on it when I let it go, but they were all my miles and I loved having them with me.  But a little fender-bender (not my fault, FYI) left me with a banged up car and $3,000, which was probably more than the car was worth anyway.  I knew it didn't make sense to fix the Jeep.  I knew it was time to move on.

I wanted a similar car:  a small-ish SUV, 4WD, around $25,000, and I wanted it to feel like a truck, not a car.  Almost everyone told me that I was stupid - why an SUV?  You can get more for your money if you get a car, dummy.  But, HELLO, I'm a teeny, tiny person; LET ME HAVE A BIG CAR SO I CAN FINALLY BE BIGGER THAN SOMEONE.  Geez.

Anywayyyyy, I chose a Ford Escape for basically one reason:  0% financing.  Yo, that's like free money.  I'll take it.

And now it's 2011.  And my car is in good shape.  And I owe LESS than it's worth (which is amazing).  And they're offering 0% financing again...

So, I'm thinking about making a trip over to the dealer this week.  I mean, if I can find the same car, only newer, for a price after trade-in that allows my monthly payments to stay the same...um, why wouldn't I get a new car????

There's a possibility I can make this work.  My fingers are most definitely crossed.
