Sell or not?

[Lowfront]

Alright guys need some advice here. I'm going to be going away to college in the fall.

My parents are paying tuition etc, but I need to pay to live up there. So basically I'm going to be broke for the next 2 years straight. I'm hoping to save up 4 grand by the end of the summer to help pay for the place while I'm up there


All the while I have my yaris, I love my yaris with a passion and really can't imagine selling it, until now of course.

I have $9,500 left of payments on it. With 10,000miles on it.



Should I suck it up and work my ass of effecting my happiness and grades? And in 3 1/2 years have my car paid off. With maybe 40,000 miles on it.

Or sell it and get a piece of shit car for now? Make some money off it, no more car payment....

My rent is going to be $500 a month and the car is $273

I really can't pay that kind of money while doing school full time.



So what are your thoughts?
