The only times a sensible person sells a vehicle are either to the scrapyard because it’s no longer safe to drive, or when a better vehicle was obtained at a sufficiently low cost or due to a life change that required a different vehicle type. In any case, expecting to recover any non-trivial amount of money from the vehicle later will probably lead to spending too much on purchasing it to begin with.

In the end, a car is transport, get what you need then plan to drive it until it dissolves.

I have other things to do with my money, so I’ll stretch the car for as long as possible, maintaining it as long as the repair costs averaged across a year are below the averaged payments on a replacement. Absent such things as getting a better car by off-beat means such as winning one or being given a leftover by a relative (this last has happened to me), I won’t sell a drivable car. Then theres the good old destruction-by-accident path to buying another car.

I view the question as null. In my view, a car has no resale value, therefore it cannot matter.
