Hello everyone, my wife and I are very likely moving to Bahrain for two years, and although I am authorized to take one car, most folks who have been there tell me it's not a great idea. It's hard on cars, easier to just get one when you get there and sell it when you leave, etc. We are debating whether to sell both of our cars before we go, or whether to park them with our parents who would drive them occasionally. I have an emotional attachment to one of the cars, and just can't bear parting with it, but if you guys tell me it's the right thing to do, I will sell!
Car #1:
2005 Acura TSX
96K miles, 6-spd manual
pretty great condition
paid for long ago
I love her
Car #2:
2008 Ford Explorer
60K miles
also great condition
13K left to pay at 2% interest
This one I'm less attached to, due to my awareness that it is a gas guzzler and otherwise a complete clown car.
We are using it now to haul stuff for a house remodel, but probably wouldn't need to in the future.
What do you guys think??
