Answer 1

I'm waiting for your question.

Answer 2

The car's paid for, take that into consideration.

Is the gas mileage difference for a 4 banger worth the additional car payment?  Insurance?  Car Registration?

In the end, the car's yours, not your parents.  You can do what YOU want with it.  Do you still have all the shirts you were given as gifts?  If they no longer fit or are worn out, you need to discard them and get something that fits you better.  Have your parents buy it from you to keep it in the family if they're THAT strong about it.  If you need to remember your great grandmother, take a picture.

Answer 3

depending on where you are I might be interested in buying it let me know where and how much

Answer 4

Are you fixing it or are you paying other people to fix it?  That makes a difference.  

Also, unless it's got a V8, it should be getting more like the low 20s per gallon.  Something ain't right.  

You'll regret selling that car.  And if you're a car person, you'll really regret it.

Answer 5

Keep it as an antique.  Get a non-operational registration so you don't have to buy insurance.

Answer 6

keep it and buy another car to drive around with
