    Thanks for the input everyone! We could get by for a few days with just one car if need be. We do have our BEF in place, and we are working on setting some money aside for car repairs, albeit not a lot.

    I may look into dropping the insurance altogether (reg. isn't due again until July). That would give me some time to save a little more for future car repairs, with an ultimate goal of selling it this summer. (Honestly, part of my hesitation on seilling it may be the fact that it was the first car I purchased and drove it off the lot brand new, its my baby )

    Again, thanks for the input. I really do appreciate it!

    Should you decide it's gotta go, you might want to take a look to see if donating it to a registered charity and taking a tax deduction would mean more $ than selling- sometimes it can work, sometimes no, but worth a look.

    All your cars are coming up 10 years old. I would be inclined to keep it because eventually one of your other 2 cars is going to go. If you don't drive it a lot it would be a great car to go to when one of you other cars is ready for the junk yard.
