I would appreciate your thoughts on my current dilemma please.
I have owned for the past 11 years an slk32amg and always looked after it many bills etc. Currently car is on a sorn and under a cover having had a full respray and wheel refurb. I bought a smart brabus to use whilst mercedes is laid up.

Dilemma is, car has done 94k and is mint both bodywork and engine. Should i be lucky enough to find a buyer i would have to gift this car away if I could get ten grand for it.

I have never put such a mileage on a car and have a mental barrier that I should get rid of it as it nears 100k. Would further add that I love the thing but common sense is telling me to get a c class estate.

What would you do?

If you have money you could maybe put it with a professional car storage company and leave them to look after it for x amount of years. If it becomes relatively rare and valuable in the future it won't necessarily matter how many miles are on it.

Thanks for your replies
my car is in storage with a local company and yesterday I went to see it.
I have made a decision to get it back on the road in the springtime.
