Should I Sell Out? Options

[914Pro]

First off I'm 17 and my 914 is my first car that I worked day in and day out at a minimum wage job to pay for. But lately I have been beginning to realize that this is not a daily driver car. So here is the problem. I need a daily driver but I love my car. She is cherry red and turns heads everywhere we go. The question is will I regret getting rid of it when I hit my midlife crisis? This is my baby and tears come to my eyes when I think of getting rid of it but its not cheap and it keeps my wallet constantly empty. So I thought who better to ask than the one group of people that understands what its like. Should I suffer through it and know that in the long run keeping it is best or sell it and buy something a little more practical?

Help Please!!

It's too easy to say "don't sell it!!!"

But it sucks to be broke.... and young.

So.... remember that it's a car. In fact, it's a car that you (me, too) drive a LOT! You can go around a corner and lose it in a ditch..... and it would be toast until someone drops another $15K into it.

My point: don't just hang onto it because it's cool. These are not art pieces..... they are cars. We love them, but something changes if we make too many sacrifices to keep them around. They should be fun.

That said, if you can tuck it away in the garage in the background of the pic, do it. (don't keep it if you need to hide it under a tarp.... it will break your heart to see it get musty)

If you decide to sell, at least you are selling at a good time.... most of us sold off cars when they were worth NOTHING.

Cheers, buddy. You are starting adulthood off right!
