    Yet here i am with my 18 year old car that is actually running, still looks good enough with only minor damage, and not going to sell it because I couldn’t possibly think anyone wants it. If I did sell it there’s no way i could ask more than 1k.

      16yo car, looks like shit because of a wrap that should’ve been taken off ages ago, scratches, curbrash etc. Got people asking me to sell it to them, leaving me notes behind the wipers, even freaking couriers asking while delivering a package. I could get like $3k more than what I paid for it.

      You just gotta buy a roughly sports-car-ish cult classic / a car everyone wanted but is affordable now, and keep it when people want to buy cars (i.e. after covid). Shame, cause I promised myself / the car that it dies with me, either wrapped around a tree, or in a junkyard when its engine blows / it isn’t worth it to replace the broken parts.
