Ok blokes,

Sell it or keep it? What do you reckon?

I'm checking out a Nissan Xtrail this weekend (fully loaded with leather and manual), and if it looks the goods then I will be handing over the cash. Its a good combination of space and 4 cylinder economy that I like. My sister has one and I was impressed.

After I buy a new car, I'll be taking the VP to get the tints done as dark as I can legally go, get the front bar resprayed and possibly the roof lining redone as well. Then it will be detailed.

I just got offered $8600 as a trade in for a 2008 RAV4, but when I looked at the figured closely, I was gettin ripped on the price of the RAV4.

I'm in half a mind to put it on stands in my shed while its mint (keep in mind its only got 147,000km on it) and leave it for 5-10 years and pull it out and do some work on it to freshen it up, after my mortgage has shrunk and my salary has doubled.

So, whats your thoughts?

keep it man its only just been driven in :p

Thats what I'm thinking.

Any tips on storing cars? When my parents owned it, it sat for 10 years and covered 11,000km during that time. Sometimes it went for up to 6 months before someone bothered to start it up and give it a run.

I'm thinking putting it up on stands and starting it every second week or so?

Ok,

After a wash, polish and wax this is how she came up.

Now locked in the shed until I put it up for sale.
