The Merc is free which is the only reason I am considering. I think I will donate the Honda and get the tax deduction. I am not sure I could sleep at night selling to someone. If the Merc dies, I could always donate that as well. It seems pretty robust though. It just runs so nice it is hard to believe it is that old. It car starts like a brand new car also.

I did the numbers and concluded that it would cost me about $400 a year on gas with my current commute. It will probably cost me that much to get the Honda fixed (pass inspection) and that is not even considering the ton of rot on the typical Honda spots. Unfortunately, being my daily car, I can't take my time and trouble shoot. I also can't test myself to find out if emissions are fine either. Tyoe of thing that I won't know if fixed until I go back for inspection.

I'll drive a couple more days and decide then.

Thanks,

David
