We have 3 cars.
A salary sacrifice car in my name, which is our main commuting car.
An ancient diesel which we use to go to the dump or for DH to go metal detecting (basically falling apart but still road worthy so useful for mucky jobs).
3rd one is an executive car (let's say), that we have had for 10 years. I want to sell it but DH refuses to entertain the idea. He says he bought it to be his retirement car, but we won't be retiring for at least another 10 years. The car is currently off the road, untaxed, un MOTd and the battery is in the garage. It's going green as its covered in leaves, algae, dirt etc. Its an aluminium body so isn't rusting but the parts under the bodywork will be.
In the spring we are due to have a new driveway laid so we will have to move the cars on to the road for around 4 weeks while the work is done I have 2 visitors permits so we can park 2 cars in the street, but there will be nowhere to park car 3.
In addition, in order to move a car out if we want the one furthest from the gate, we have to shuffle the cars around as we can only get one car out at a time. If we had 2 cars, we could move each one out independently of the other.
Can anyone out there explain to me why we should not get rid of car 3. No reason why it has to be his executive one (other than he never uses it, as he's either commuting on the train, or using one of the other 2 cars). Is there any reason at all why he is so insistent on keeping the exec car? I just need an objective reason for keeping all 3 cars, when we in reality only need 1 really.
