<prompt> Human: Hellooo! I will be traveling internationally for approximately 6 months in the near future and dont know what the best option is for my car during that time. A few years ago, I bought a 2012 Honda, and have stuck with it despite a lot of second thoughts due to the price about 250 per month plus 100 for insurance. I know it is a good car, a good investment in the long run, but also Ive had many driving jobs so it is getting up around 170,000 miles. edit: it is actually at 140,000 right now. Now the plan is to backpack around various places for about 6 months, and I dont like the idea of paying 350 a month for a car that is sitting somewhere. This money could be used for so many other things. Im not finished paying it off yet, but by the time I leave it will have just under 5,000 left on it. Im not sure if I should sell it to pay it off, or use one of those websites where they rent out your car while youre gone so you can earn money Turo?. That makes me nervous... strangers using my car for a half year. I will need a car when I get back pretty quickly. Not sure if selling it would waste the last few years of investment or if its worth it to cut that cost for a while. Halp. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Ive got some time to figure it out but it stresses me out to think about it. Assistant: Sell it. One less thing to worry about. Its just a car. There will be plenty of high mileage Asian econo-boxes on the market when you return.Enjoy your trip while the rest of us slave away in cubicles!Human: Yeah... it just hurts to think about selling my car, my investment that I thought would be long term : but I am excited to get away from the cubicle life! :D  <response>: Vehicles rust, rot, and depreciate. It is not an investment. Sell the car and ENJOY your trip!
