If I had a crystal ball and knew in a few years I would be moving into a place that had the room to store - I never would have sold the 2002.
The car was not the fastest. It was not quiet. It had odd foibles... But it was just a total blast to drive and served me well for 28 years.
But - I did sell it. That's ok. (it's now worth about 3 times what I sold it for though)
On the other hand - Can't wait to get the E9 back in a few months.
