Dh and I celebrate our 25th anniversary next year. First 10 years or so we were broke but things have improved due to a combination of hard work, good luck and continuing to live frugally despite improving circumstances - we almost didn't realise we'd started to become better off. No debts and good savings.
In recent years we've had newish standard family cars, perfectly functional and presentable. We live in a house that suits our needs in the nicer part of a rough town. I think most people in our position would use the money to move, but we don't have any great desire to.
The car we have in mind is probably three times as much as we've ever spent before and would be the "best" car in the street by far - I think this is where my uncertainty stems from, I'm concerned it would seem unbearably flash and/or draw attention to us as a target for criminals.
Anyway we're thinking of buying ourselves a very nice anniversary present. Would you?
Oh, should say neither of us drive much! Dh commutes by train and I work 3 miles away, so it would only be used weekends and holidays (which Di usually involve driving). We'd pay cash for the car
