In reply to the discussion: If you have a car, how old is it? [View all]PJMcK
(25,050 posts)19. We sold both our cars last September
Weve taken a years sabbatical to cruise the east coast and Bahamas on our little sailboat.
The 2011 Honda CRV had 175,000 miles and my BIL bought it from us for $6,000.
The 2013 Hyundai Elantra had about 150,000 and a friend bought it for his daughter for $5,000.
We sold them in very good condition. We couldnt figure out how to store them long-term since we dont have a garage. They were both getting high-30s mpg.
When we return home to civilization well buy one 4-wheel drive vehicle, hopefully a hybrid.
ETA: Therell be no surprises!

My first car was a Ford. It was nice but I got a Toyota and never looked back.
