Hello
I'm considering applying for an over seas job with the parent company for the company that I work for. It would be for at least a year.

Fixed that for ya =)

Depends on whether you want to upgrade or not. If you really like the car, keep it, if you don't care or want something better, sell it, and buy something when you return.

Just my opinion, but I would think once the new Cruze hits the market and if it becomes a hit a Cobalt will be worth even less.

sell it and you have a lot of time to decide what you want.

are you still making payments on it? is this job over seas going to pay a lot? financially its a horrible decision to take a hit then buy a new car. Keeping the current car and storing it would be what I'd recommend.

Wow, I really expected the results of this not to be so close..
I just did some reasearch. It would cost me 300 bux
to store my car for a year in storage.

If I sell my car, I think I could get 10 grand for it maybe.
If I do, I can put that 10 grand into a money market account
and would make 372 dollors on it.
Even if it doesnt go for ten grand. Ive still made interest
on the money that I got form selling it. In additon I will
not be paying registration or insurance on it.
Thank you for your opinions. I Live near a military base
so there are always people looking to buy/sell cars arround here.
I'm not even sure if I'll be going though
Thanks for your inputs though I'll still think about it. I got some
other stuff to think about too.
