Decision help - giving up the car?
I'm in a bit of a dilemna and could use some good advice. I have a 2002 Civic EX coupe 5spd. I love the car and every thing but in a year i'll be going off to college... one that most likely, i won't be able to have the car on campus my first year. My insurance is a blower; somewhere in the neighborhood of 3K a year. My dad has a 96 civic sedan which he's considering selling if i give him my car. I have about 10K in the bank and my dad will probably give me a good 8K too since i payed for most of the car in february. The question is.... should i just keep the car (wont be able to do anything aftermarket to it since my dad will probably end up driving it sometimes no matter what i decide) or should i just take the money (17K total) wait a few years till im out of college / in grad school and buy a car for about 35 or 40K. Even if my dad did take the car I'd still be able to drive it on breaks and the summer. Advice anyone?
