If you got no problems with this one then keep it otherwise your running that high risk the new ones going to be a problem child.

Be sensible and buy cars that dont depreciate no matter how mundane they are. Alfas unfortunately depreciate really bad 
i.e BMW 325I sports etc etc

GTV are deffo asking for troubel changing the spark plugs are a nightmare to change on the v6 and a visit to the dealer for a an inspection can often turn into a £700 bill without batting an eyelid......

My cusin is buying a 740i for around the 3-4k mark uses them for 3 months then sells them on for 5-6 k never fails, the same rule applies to e30 325i sports and thats how he started.

I bought a E30 once...it fell to bits. I think running a 4L bmw for 3 months would cost most of what he makes on them!
