Mercedes CLS - should I keep it or sell?

I am about to retire and currently have a 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS 320 CDI, which I have owned from new with full Mercedes service history. I absolutely love the CLS, but I am now beginning to consider costs over the next 3-5 years and wonder if replacing with a nearly new car would be more economical?

I'd keep the CLS. It's still only four years old and if you are worried, take out an aftermarket warranty on it.
