And if you drive the car you may be injured or killed. So you have a vehicle you’re paying insurance for just sitting – unless you want to risk your life driving it. For me, that’s about $800 a year; much more for people with poorer driving records.In my case, I’ve wanted to sell the car (I have a new car as of late 2016) for nearly a year but cannot ethically do so.
