Sad gut-check time. My 13' speed has been a garage queen since mid 2015 when I stopped using it to commute. I try to bring it out on short errands or a pleasure cruise from time to time, but as life conditions have changed, so have priorities. We have a CX5, bought another house, and have a little one on the way.
The car still brings a smile to my face and I fondly remembering finally realizing the dream of having a "nice sporty car", but lately I've been debating whether to sell the car or not. It's now 7 years old (!!!) and although it only has 61k on it, I'm wondering if it'd be better to sell it to a good owner and move on, since there is no current need for a second car and it could very well be depreciating in value.
A few places I've looked have pegged the value at between $12-$16k which would be nice as a nest egg (or means of down payment on another car down the road)... What would you do?
