I follow the rule that there are 2 kinds of cars for sale - those that are for sale, and those that are sold. No matter how much value we infer to a car, it's value continues to evaporate. I just bought a 2001 Suburban - 132,000 miles - and it looked great. Paid $5,100 - and that was an over-payment. So far I have over $4,500 just in parts - mostly from Rock Auto, spent to get it road worthy. I didn't expect to have to do this, but that's the way it goes. I went a bit intense on some of the repairs. For example - not just new pads and rotors, but new calipers and rubber brake fluid supply hoses on every wheel. My point is I am buying to keep, and at this point I must keep it - because it is still worth no more than $5,100. By the way, the shock absorbers were a real kick - over $800. Never saw that coming.
So, consider keeping. That pretty new face you see out there calling for you ain't all she is made out to be.
