The Subaru is not worth selling. It has 260,000 miles. It runs fantastic but the body is rotting away. I need a 4x4 to replace it when it goes. When it does go, I was thinking of getting an Audi A8. I would love to keep the MB and have the Audi but selling the MB would pay off some bills and speed the process.
I am just thinking ahead. The MB is a luxury for me. I really don't NEED it but I love it. It would also shorten my "to do" lists, with 8 bikes and 3 cars I have plenty to do.

I'd wait to sell, at least a little while. You may regret selling it, while I doubt you'll regret keeping it for a few months. It won't lose a tremendous amount of value over the next year. If anything it may gain value because the biofuel option will become more appealing to buyers as petro-fuel prices rise. I think in the end you just have to decide how much you love it. But my advice is wait for a while and see where you stand in a few months.
