<prompt> Human: Hey guys, so I pay 500 a month for my new 2016 car in the city. Its a Civic. I got it financed, with the extended warranty, maintenance plan, etc. Ive made enough payments that Im not underwater, I owe 18k and its worth 18k. I moved last year and my insurance hiked from 140 to 240. I pay 70 a month for parking at work and 50 a month for gas. Im considering selling because of the insurance, parking, and gas money I would save, but also because my work would reimburse me for my commute if I use public transportation 100 value.All this taken into account theres no denying the convenience a car provides, but would street parking and city miles negate the benefits and value of keeping my car long term? Would selling be advantageous? Should I take it to a Carmax and see what I can get? Its a big expense of mine and Im hesitant to do something impulsive, like I did when I bought it, and lose more money than I already did when I bought new instead of used.Any advice is welcome, trying to improve at saving and living within my means. Let my know what you guys think.  <response>: Youre paying at least 860month to have a car, probably more when you include all related expenses. On the other hand you could use public transportation to get to work for free essentially. This seems like a no brainer to me. If you need to take a longer trip somewhere you can just rent a car and still save yourself a lot of money.
