well is it a good one, is it clean, drive well, no major issues etc etc.

Also depends on how confident you are, that you going to get another job soon(ish), if so you might be abel to keep the car if you know you can afford it, if times are hard than sell it....

Hunt for jobs. Hunt now. Keep hunting. Find a job and keep that touring. Its a stunning looking beast (one of my fav's on the zone!) and would be a shame if you were to sell up and it will haunt you in the future. Sell the kids instead.

I'm in exactly the same position as yourself!

If i sell my baby it will limit where i can look for work...but if i dont find work,like yesterday(!),i will be swamped with bills i cant pay.

I wish i had the answer....but i'm hanging on to my car for as long as possible!

At the end of the day, pretty she may be, but she is only a car. You and yours comes first.

if you sell it the money will probably only give you another month or 2 but years of regret selling it
