Help Me! Should I Sell or Keep my E39??

I can't seems to make up my mind whether I should sell or keep my E39.

Part of the reason why I wanted to sell is pressure from parents (they urging me to sell),
high maintenance cost (just replaced the AC compressor for over $800), and I think I have to replace something again.....
high installment ($863 a month for around 4yrs left).
applying for SIM studies (not confirm if I will get it though)

If I should let go the car, I will be eyeing either a S13 or an old WRX liao.

Wonder if its worth selling the car or should I just keep it.
 
Re: Help Me! Should I Sell or Keep my E39??

Hmm if you are having trouble upkeeping it, you should sell it. Especially if you start studying again! Sure pay until heartpain de..
 
Re: Help Me! Should I Sell or Keep my E39??

i think you should just keep it. there will be not much of a difference in expenditure or maintenance if you intend to get another old car.
 
Re: Help Me! Should I Sell or Keep my E39??

I have a definite emotional attachment to E36, but for E39, I would say sell.
 
Re: Help Me! Should I Sell or Keep my E39??

old S13 / WRX ain't gonna be that cheaper to maintain man... will need rebuilds again and insurance will be a killer in comparison

that's right.
From the frying pan into the fire.

WRX insurance is hovering about $7-8k w/o NCD for sub-30.
(if they even want to insure you) How old are you again?

age24 NCD 0% average ~$9000.00 (based on a 2007 model)

just sell & study la.
