Coupe69 - I'm sure we all know what you're going through. My wife and I were considering selling just because we are occaisionally afraid to even drive it anywhere considering all the inconsiderate idiots on the road, and to finance some house projects. Now that nice weather is returning, we are questioning our own sanity. I have been into collectible or special interest cars all my life - but have never owned anything like my coupe. I didn't grow up wealthy, and I really feel kind of honored to own such a conveyance. The fact that I'm somewhat talented mechanically and feel I can take care of it better than most potential buyers could, makes me feel more like it's current custodian than it's owner. Would the next owner care so much about the car and it's history? Maybe yes, maybe no. But we love it and I think it's here to stay. If I sold it and wanted to get back into a coupe in a few years - I probably couldn't afford to. It seems like yesterday that as a 20-something I wanted to buy an Aston DB4. In the mid-80s they were about $16,000 and I had my first "real" job - but they were WAY out of my reach then. Now a nice DB4 is $80,000. Winning lotto aside, it's just not going to happen.
Short version - unless you're about to be kicked to the curb, keep it.
