<prompt> Human: Im just starting to get into budgeting my finances, but one thing thats crossed my mind is the option of selling my daily car.It essentially boils down to this:2011 Subaru Impreza 2.5i with 73k miles. Second owner, bought 25k miles 2 years ago for 15k. I drove a lot for my current job, but found a much closer job starting in a month. I only got this car because its my first nice car, and has AWD for DCMDVA winters. Its in slightly rough cosmetic condition paint chipping on front fenderMy thoughts are to sell it 9k-11k? and drive an 2000 FWD Tacoma with 45k miles. Yes, it sits around a lot at my parents and they cheaped on the WD. New job is only 7-8 miles away from home considering picking up commute cycling as well. The only regret I see is that if it snows hard the handful of days around DC, Id wish I had a more capable car.I dont have immediate use for this money if I make the sell maxing ROTH save new roof?, but Im starting to see it as a luxury than a necessity.  <response>: IMO all-wheel drive is overrated in the snow. It helps with traction when youre accelerating for sure. Id be more concerned about braking and cornering in the snow though. Snow tires help with all three things.Youre unlikely to have any problems with front-wheel drive in the snow unless youre doing a lot of driving in deeper snow or on steep inclines. Youll have to budget extra driving time, take it easy, and try to stay out of the way of people who dont know how to drive in snow, but youd have to do that with all-wheel drive anyway.
