If its paid for and theirs no more preventative maintenance that has to be done, I'd say run it into the ground as long as you have the space and are willing to pay the insurance. These cars are relatively trouble free and in most instances, the only time I've seen people sell them were either because they didn't need the car anymore, or they upgraded to a newer model, not because of a mechanical issue

Those cars are almost bullet proof and extremly reliable. If you've had it for awhile, are getting bored with it, and have the budget, than by all means sell it.

Otherwise, I personally would keep it.
