I don't think you're "off" in your thinking. Personally I'm all over that idea.

Of course in doing my owne worke, I'm getting to know my van quite
well. Sometimes a little too well. Every little squeek, noise etc., is
like a new friend just begging to spend some time with me....

You won't ever get your money back out, but then when you drive a new car off the lot, you lose a bundle anyway...
