I love this car. It never left me stranded (KoW). It's been reliable and the engine remains in impeccable condition after 205Kkm. Its note is as nice today as it was on day 1.
But I'm upgrading to a new car. After 21 1/2 years, it's time. Still, my kid will reach driving age in 3 years, and it would be nice for him to have his own car, even if at first he will not need a car that often.
Does it make sense to park a 2003 Vibe for 3 years?
I'm in Ontario, so there is of course under-belly rust, but the top remains pristine, partly because I have only hosed it with soap and fresh water, and only a shammy touched the clearcoat. I never scrubbed the surface.
Thoughts?
