After 11 years with my 2003 Corolla, I finally sold it. We wanted to sell it while it still had some value left that way we could use the money towards a new car. Josh laughs at me on how attached I was to this car. It took a lot of convincing for me to finally say yes. I told him, it's like peeling off a ban-daid. "Okay! Just do it!" I said it just like that in a pained voice, and my eyes closed. LoL!
There was never going to be a good time to do it. No time like the present right? I couldn't argue and say, when the car dies we'll get a new one. If you've done your research you know Toyota's last forever. I guess I had that attachment because it was my very first car I bought on my own and paid off. I got that car my senior year in high school and it got me through college and more. She was barely broken in when we sold her at 120,503 miles to be exact. The people who bought her were a very deserving young couple who had another Corolla too. They were adding my car to their fleet, so it made me feel a little better about it. I was able to get very close to my asking price. Did I mention it sold in 4 hours? Yes, 4 hours!! It was a very good car and I will miss it.
