Keep or sell

2014 is350, 40k miles

Bought the car in 2015 w/12k miles for about 35k. Great car but last year I was gone half the year and this year I'll be gone again for another 10 months straight . Car will be sitting on the garage. Should I sell it to stave off the depreciation and get something new when I come back? Or should I keep it? Currently listed on Craigslist right now and not too serious about selling it since I'm on the fence, but recently got a couple serious bites so now I'm thinking about it more.

If you listed, it sounds like you've already made up your mind. Sell and move on.

I hope you've sold it by now. To me, there's no reason to keep a relatively new car sitting for that long. That's a tremendous amount of wasted depreciation unless you plan on making it a collectible in 50 years or something. Of course, if you absolutely love the car, nothing would stop you from selling it.

If you do keep it, you should see if you can arrange to store it inside instead.
