Keep or Sell?

My 2000 Honda Accord LX is a great car. It gets awesome gas mileage, is somewhat fun to drive thanks to the stickshift, and is pretty peppy for a 4-cylinder. Still going strong at 151k miles. However, the paint on the top and the trunk lid is badly oxidizing, and it's becoming embarrassing to look at. The car is a forest green color, so the oxidation really sticks out. Is it worth repainting the whole top section and trunk lid (which takes a lot of time and $$), or should I take my losses and sell it?

What losses? It's a 2000 and I'm sure it's long since paid for, so there are no losses...

...except you will have to buy another car, which could mean payments, which means debt... which means losses.

Seriously, there are Maaco's and whatever else out there that will do a paint job for $400-500 or so. Or, there's always the DIY paint job:

Th e question is do you have children that will be driving soon, or nieces or nephews? If you have children of your own, paint it and keep it until they are ready to drive, then give it to them. If you have nieces or nephews, don't paint it , and sell it to them really cheap for a down payment on a newer car.

Just a couple of suggestions. Or you could go with Anybody Home's idea and paint it like this:

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
