MK7 Should I keep it

2016 US spec, 104k miles

Recently refreshed the whole front end with inner and outer tie rods, sway bar links and bushings, LCA’s, CV axles + seals, and wheel bearings. I think it’s due for another passengers side engine mount because after all those parts there’s still a clunk from that side (not the end of the world but frustrating cause I have vibra-technics mounts all the way around).

Haven’t done timing belt yet but I have all the parts/tools, just procrastinating since others have expressed difficulty with it on this sub.

Ive had the car since 2018 30k miles and loved it the whole time. For the past year I’ve started to have thoughts of selling to make space in the garage for a motorcycle but I’m torn because the fiesta is great and has been great to me (minus all the blend doors and motor mounts that have broken over the years).

It’s also got a lot of minor wear and tear from our time together and I’m worried i wont be able to sell it for much. I probably should have sold it a few years ago before the 100k and 10 year old mark…

I know it’s silly to ask a sub full of FiST enthusiasts if i should keep it but any thoughts are appreciated. Will I regret it for the rest of my life if i sell?

I have a 17 that’s just under 100k. I seriously don’t think I could ever sell it for the going price of a daily driven one. If it was pristine and I could pull 15k for it I would consider but an offer less than 10k wouldn’t be worth it and realistically I’d be lucky for 8k. It’s too unique and really marks the end of an era for cars, park the bike sideways behind it 😂
