<prompt> Human: I have a car worth 5000 that I currently use to commute. Its 7 years old but only has 60k miles on it. Ill be moving to San Francisco where I would need to spend 300 a month for parking and insurance. Ill be living within walking distance of my workplace, so I dont really need the car.The apartment Im moving to is specifically for employees and has a 2 year limit. Im currently thinking Ill stay at this job for 2-3 years, although it could be as little as a year. It could be longer too, but right now Im not planning for that. With that said, its possible Ill have to spend the last year commuting to work, in which case Id rather have a car for flexibility. Plus, whenever I leave the city Ill need a car.So if I only stay a year, and I sold it, I would gain 8,600 5000 30012 . If I stay 2 years, I would gain 12,200. Both those amounts would be enough to buy a used car ifwhen I need it. The things holding me back are: I like that I know the history of my car, as opposed to buying used in the future. And obviously it would be nice to have access to a car during the next 2 years, even if I dont absolutely need it.I also thought about parking it near a friends place where I currently live that has limitless free street parking. I think Id prefer that option the best, but Im not sure of the legality of long term street parking. Especially since I would be 2 hours away.Im looking for perspectives on these options. To put things in context: I have some student debt. My rentutilitiesWifi in SF will be 13 my net monthly income, and Ill be living within my means and making progress on the student debt. But an extra 300 a month isnt small change to me.  <response>: Id sell it. Free street parking in SF is a fight to get into, so that would be a pain every time you drive. And you can get a ticket for being parked on the street too long, especially if a resident of that block gets irritated and calls it in. Used cars arent that shiftylook up the CarFax and put that 300month to the new one. The only caveat is that the higher the chance youll only stay a year, the more Id lean towards just keeping the car.
