If I sell it now, I "save" $3k in comparison. Between everything involved, I suspect getting a temp car for three months will cost me $2500ish and add some non-$ intangibles. At that point, I think I'm better off sticking with the Camaro right now. I think. Not 100% sure.

No job security considerations in play. (One of the very good things working for who I work for.)

It's a weird and interesting time from the car purchase perspective.

It might not even drop $3k, it's going to drop less than new cars... But you're driving it instead of driving the newer car during the same period. If you don't have another car lying around, not worth it at all, hold on... Especially if miles aren't piling up, the value won't drop too much. Who is going to a dealer to go and touch and smell stuff for the next several months? No one.
