I currently own a 1995 Nissan Altima with about 90K miles. It's a good little car, reliable, running, few cosmetic flaws, and should last about 50K more (based on my reading, etc.) I recently inherited a 1999 Honda Civic LX with only 60K on it, also in good cosmetic and working order. I only need one good car to last me about 4 more years through school. I'm about a 12-15K / year driver, so either vehicle should last. Blue-book value of the Nissan is about $3000, the Honda's worth $8000. Do I sell the older car, or unload the Honda while it's still got value ? Selling the Honda could ultimately profit, even if I spend some of the proceeds repairing the Nissan along the way. Any thoughts ?

Thanks
