<prompt> Human: I have a 2009 Jeep that KBBs for about 17000 as it stands. Its paid off, but Im not sure if its wiser to sell it while it still has value, or just drive the paid off vehicle until its not worth much at all. Strictly from a financial standpoint, does it make sense to sell it, deposit the valueinvest, and start making payments on a new vehicle?  <response>: Almost always makes better sense to keep driving it, because the depreciation curve gets flatter the closer it gets to 0.So a 10,000 car might depreciate 2,000 next year, whereas a 15,000 car might depreciate 3,000 next year.It almost never makes financial sense to sell a paid-off car thats working in order to make payments on a newer vehicle.
