I want to buy a new car. This is a difficult financial decision, but our car is 12 years old. Can you write some reasons I can give to my partner so she's on board with this decision.

Buying a new car is usually one of the main financial decisions a person has to take. A new car depreciates quickly, and it is definitely not an investment, but there are some reasons to buy a new car if you have an old one, for example:

- New cars are more ecological, and usually include electric propulsion, which is better for the environment. 
- New cars are safer. A lot of the R&D budget from manufacturers goes into making the car safer both for the people in it and for the pedestrians.
- A new car usually has more features which can make driving a better experience: GPS connectivity, better seats or better lightning are some of them. 
-  A new car is also an experience - if you like driving, it can make you happier to drive a new models and enjoy its features.
