Personally, I think it is better to not have to worry about how you are going to pay for your car while going to school. If it will be that close each month, then I say sell it. Of course I do not have any emotional attachment to any car. I am more like a car *****, get it for a while until I get used to it and then move on to the next one. If you happen to get sick and miss work or your hours get reduced more, laid off, etc. then you will be stuck with a car note and a whole lot of worry on your shoulders. You can always get another one after school is over and do it all over again.

ok obviosly you want to go back to further your career. If your job is, logistics? Odds are your company might help you with school if they know your wanting to go back to school to further educate yourself and obtain a degree. It might not hurt to check into that. Im just throwing idea's out there. I know my company will hire anyone with a degree and from there they will help you out with almost anything, all of our engineers have it made.

Shoot me a PM with some details on the car. I have a guy that might buy it if it's clean and mechanically sound.
