Well, here's my dilemma... I start training up in Appleton, WI on the 20th. And honestly I do not want to try and borrow a small amount of money from my parents for a little bit of cash to take with me.

So, I'm really thinking of selling my vehicle for as much as I can get to take along. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Advice? I get paid this Friday (tomorrow) but most of it is going to get other things squared away before I leave. . .

Welcome to my dilemma lol

Without knowing all of your circumstances. I would sell the car and put the cash in the bank. It will be comforting to have the safety net so to speak. Cars are a dime a dozen. Easy to sell, easy to buy. Just my $.02

If you don't plan on driving anywhere in the next few months I would sell it.

That was my thoughts as well. Plus I'll be lucky to get maybe $1000 for it. Plus it has some issues that if they go bad will end up being more that what it's worth.

My other thought is that once I'm on the road I'm going to be saving as much as I can. And by getting rid of the car that's ine less bill to worry about as far as insurance leaving me with just 2 things to pay. So, if down the road I decide to buy a new car I'll be able to.

Until then, since I'll only be home 2-3 days at a time I could always rent a car on those days if I choose to.

But anyway, thanks Matt and Tractor Man.
