$9k, ouch! I guess that's the difference between 'having to sell' and 'liking to sell'.

It's often a situation of someone been shown a repair bill that's worth more than the car - like my mate who recently got told it was going to cost more to repair his ML than it was worth on the market - so he's pretty much happy to hand the keys to anyone for a song now. I pointed out to him he's better off running the car into the ground.

I'm happy to hang onto the car. It just doesn't make sense for me to live in the CBD and have three cars (with 3 sets of rego and insurance) when it's just me and my girlfriend (and she catches a tram to and from work all week).

It's a silly luxury when I'm 2 years into a mortgage facing interests rates that may never be lower. The smart money says 'sell the X5 and put into the mortgage'.....so here I am.
