[QUOTE="donna723, post: 219941, member: 1883"] I understand perfectly how you can get emotionally attached to a vehicle. I've done it myself ... I still mourn the brand new yellow 1967 Mustang that I was forced to give up when I got married the first time! In hindsight, I would have done so much better to keep the car and get rid of [I]him![/I] But I know exactly where you're coming from. You see that van and you see all the memories you have of your kids that you associate with the van. It reminds me of a lady who was on one of those home improvement shows. She cried buckets when the new owners painted over the doorframe where she had marked the height of her children over the years, and I don't blame her. You have to face it that you may not get all the money out of it that you put in to it. Looking at it as unemotionally as possible, the trick is to get it sold [I]before[/I] some other expensive repair needs to be done because that would just be money down the drain. You wouldn't get any more for it and you'd have a lot more in it than you do now. [/QUOTE]
