Holy fuck.

Just drive it.
My reaction as well. Brad, have you made calculations as far as when you might be LESS fubared? This is like a literal Plac move here. Those don't work out well, you'll be down to your last bag of peas.

After watching a MSRP $80K Mercedes go to KBB for $16.5K. with 65K miles on it, my only regret was not driving that bish a lot more. I won't make the same mistake with the current Krautmobile.

In an ideal world I'd pick up a poorsche by then and run that, but assuming that doesn't happen I'll likely stay home. The vibe and both potential miata co-drives have absolute garbage for rain tires to the point where it's not worth running.

Sell it private party then?

Problem is... you're likely never going to be above water on this. So cut your losses now if you want out.

JP gets it.

I think a private party sale is a VERY hard sale though. And frankly, if it does happen it will be difficult to execute.

LA has weird tax laws surrounding vehicles, but, do you get a tax benny from trading it in? In PA we get taxed on the difference between trade and purchase.

yes. so in my scenario a trade would mean that I don't pay tax on the next vehicle.
