Default Trade my SC for an accord stop me!

Just moved into a new bigger house bringing my mom into the family fold. She has an 04 accord with 33k miles. Do I sell it, or use this family friendly 31 mpg car and part with my beloved but impractical 03 SC. Just spent 3k on wheels tires and maint, factory warranty for 3 more years for my 03 with 70k miles. What to do?

Unless you are being forced to rid yourself of the SC by terrorists, or some mad gazillionaire is offering you a ridonkulous amount of money for it.. well.. it's clear then, right?

Just sayin.

And the SC is very practical, at least it has 4 seats, as compared to roadsters. Keep the SC and get rid of the Accord.

Keep both! A backup car can be a necessity when you are in the middle of some mods and for those bad Florida snow days. I just got a new front bumper cover for my backup car so I can stop using duck tape to hold on the old one. Got kids? They can learn on the Accord!

Don't do it! Either keep both or just keep the SC. I've got an 03 Accord and I could never live with myself if I traded an SC430 for such a boring car.

The accord which cost $14900 in 04 is now worth about $12000. My SC which I paid $24000 for two and a half years ago + warranty maintainence timing belt wheels and tires has tied up about $30000 and would fetch around $18000. I sold my CTS V to buy my house, which I made a couple grand on. So the decision is.... keep the SC and GULP let my wife drive it on the days I have to take Mom and the kids out in the LS. Thanks for the input all. I would miss LB too much, and have too much $ into her. Can't justify three cars when the Accord is worth so much.
