Hi folks,
I'm new here, but I've had my 2002 Civic SiR for 11 years now.
Now, I have not driven the car in about 2 months, and have not driven a long distance in about 8 months (we got a new car in November).
The car sits in the driveway under a car cover. It has started deteriorating. 2 weeks ago, after not starting it for a month, it no longer starts (turns over, no ignition). It also has a bit of rust, though I have sanded it all off. There is also body damage to the rocker panel caused by driving over a rock which is also starting to corrode. and am going to prime and paint the those areas shortly (before they get worse).
But, now I am moving across the continent (from Ontario Canada to Washington State). Parking is expensive where I will be living, so I will not be able to keep the extra car there.
What shall I do with the car? Should I park it somewhere here in case I come back? It might become a pile of rust. Should I sell it? Is it worth selling an EP3 that doesn't currently run? Should I donate it to the Kidney Foundation? Or sell the parts? Some things are in decent condition.
What do you think?
