Keep it. You'll get a new job before you manage to sell it.

^Lolx! Yeah, probably that.
Is it on loan? If yes, then sell it.
If not, then hold on to it.
Btw, $700 is cheap for fixing the roof rust is cheap man!

how are you going to get to job interviews with no mode of transport.
i remember when applying for jobs they ask how you are going to arrive to work. if the job is nowhere near a train line or bus then youre screwing yourself by selling it.
worst case scenario why dont you get a loan and put it up as equity, that way you can pay the bills and keep the car at the same time?

Just park it in your garage and drive/work on it once you get a job.
If you are not paying for garage, parking a car shouldn't cost you any extra money, but trying to buy another car once you get a job might.
IMO you should have spent the money on RWC and registration first instead of spending the $500 on stripping the dash, (unless that was a part of RWC?)

Well it was drawing the battery weak therefore i have no choice but so strip the dash to find out why, it appears to be the faulty CD player and i had change most of the wires.
my garage doesn't cost, but is my monthly bills that is killing me, at least a grand a month add on credit card and living expenses. Trust me mate you don't want to be in this situation.
