should I sell...

I have used my car twice since Christmas, both short journeys. I am now on tablets that say I shouldn't drive or operate machinery. I don't know how long I am going to be on the tablets as the Dr keeps changing my prescription.
Should I sell my car or keep it locked up in the garage depreciating.
There is no money owed on the car. What would you do?

    Park it outside my house if you like, as people seem to like dumping cars here...

    On a serious note - does the car have any value? Or is it low value?

    If its low value then keep it parked up.
  • what car is it?

    It's a 2006 '56' Mini cooper (newer model) with about 12,000 on the clock, chilli pack, half leather, JCW works body kit, upgraded wheels, full service history and TLC pack.

    Sounds like it might be worth selling. Stick the money in a high Interest saving account(unless you've got other debts of course).

    No debt, and would want the money where I can get hold of it in case my medication changes. Wouldn't go on holiday with the money as we have a brand new static waiting for us on the Yorkshire coast (take my dogs with me).
