Should I sell my car? (Reps)

Should I sell my car


2012 Lincoln MKT 239k miles
Paid off
But keep having to do repairs
So it ends up costing $160-200 a month on repairs/depreciation. The number I came up with based on all the repairs I did.

Now I do Uber xl and Lyft xl with it on the side sometimes.

I have it listed for $5.5k

But I would need a replacement car
That is 2015+ suv type to qualify for Lyft xl
And I can’t find any that are cheaper than $10k

Most are $15k+

Granted the miles are lower and could be better condition and better mpg

But I don’t want to make monthly payments.

I know I’m making depreciation/repair payments now but I can’t figure out if it’s cheaper just to keep my car as it is and do that or sell it at it’s price of 5.5k or less and get a more expensive suv with less miles.

Just recently spent on tire repairs/tires and it was $1400


May spend another 300-400 getting o2 sensor and gasket replaced and $170 for car registration so don’t know if it’s worth selling

Hope u guys understand what I’m trying to say.

I know it’s a luxury car and I don’t need it at all since Lyft/Uber don’t qualify for Luxury rides anymore due to Covid as it was qualified for Uber select


So I’m paying higher gas/etc for no reason while only giving Lyft xl rides. Which is I want a suv that’s better on gas not luxury but they are still more $.
I don't check my CP, IDC about reps/negs

I would say yes because it's getting pretty high miles. Better to sell it before something very expensive happens and becomes worth $0 or scrap value.

Sell your car to:
1. Carmax

Get a Certified Pre-owned Vehicle That is awesome on Gas even better if it is a Hybrid.

If I were you I would buy a Certified Pre-owned:
1. Lexus
2. Genesis
3. Toyota


Don't sit around waiting for an offer on that Lincoln.
