hey guys I have dilemma about selling my beloved lexus. Recently, I was accepted into a program in NYC for next 2- 3 years. I was told, do not bring my car but use the public transportation instead. Thus, wondering if i should sell my gs. I have 06 lexus gs300 with 64k miles.

if you can't drive it, personally i would sell it. it's a depreciating asset, it won't retain its price in 3 years even if you don't put any miles on it

you will be permanently live in NYC for that 2-3 years? You might want to ask ppl living in NYC. But from what I understand traffic there is hell and public trans is a lot more accessible.

if I can't use my car for 2 years, might as well sell. Too many problems with a car sitting that long.

traffic there is a pita! if your living in the city or any of the 5 boroughs, public transportation is the way to go.

Trust me... you dont want to own a car in NYC. Do yourself a favor and sell it

Why not? I own 2 , used to own 3 and I live in queens, work in e city.

Commute to work is hell, so take LLIR or subway. Express bus is also great. Once in a while I drive to work, but rarely. It's itoo exhaustive. But sometimes subway gets too annoying and you just want to be in your own car and drive in. That happens once or twice a month. There is only so much subway misery one can take.
I pay $300 for garage space for both cars. So kept that in mind.
Parking in the street is a sure guarantee that someone will bump into the car, side swipe, crash into ( those helpless dwi case nuts) and let's not forget the department of sanitation, who will do little to avoid dragging garbage bags around your car without scratching the whole side or hood or trunk. Ask me how I know .


But I'm a car nut and I enjoy my cars. If I wanted a car for just counting, I wouldnt be driving a Lexus. There is a great car out there for the masses that does things exceptionally well, I think Accord they call it, or Camry... Something like that.

NY Public transit is the way to go

Sell... You are from Cali? No need to keep a car, you''ll be flying home.
Public transit is on-point in NYC.

A lexus sitting still is the same as other cheap car sitting still isn't it?

you could drive elsewhere when you are off. A joy ride to elsewhere beside NY, somewhere you can enjoy the ride.
