Ok Im taking a job for 2 years in Bahrain. My question is should I sell my 2020 Hellcat Widebody Charger with 14k miles on it, or keep it in storage? Ive put some money into interior mods plus I still owe 75k on it so its not like Im going to make any money and consider myself lucky if I get enough to pay it off. Bad part is I love the car, it has no problems and there is only 1 more year of this version of the Hellcat. I even thought about shipping it to Bahrain and selling it there, most of the cars there are high priced cars.
Id appreciate input from you guys.

Seems like youre not really emotionally attached so ship it and sell it for big bucks while you can.

Ship it to me, I’ll store it for you and get it up to temp for you on a regular basis. All for the low, low price of a few sets of tires!

You are not going to get enough to pay it off if you still owe $75k? You owe too much on it to sell it here even if it’s a hot used car market. It will also cost a lot to ship it overseas. Good luck with it.

My input is to realize that you won't be able to replace it with a new one when you get back.

Not going to be able to get another one at a reasonable price in my opinion. If you don't need the money "right now" then ship it or store it. Do it well, don't skimp. If you need the money, or think the car is just "okay", then put it up for sale.

If it's just a car, ship and sell it.

Why not ship it and drive it for the 2 years, then sell if you want before coming back?

hey now. I’m doing alright! Lol

As someone who has watched people sell and regret it within days, I’d say keep it. If you’re able to, ship her over and drive her. If you’re worried you’ll get into trouble over there with the car, store her here. Or leave her with someone who is gonna take care of it and keeps the mice out of the harnesses. If you do store it, find the best place you can. Research them for awhile and talk with anyone who stores their car regularly for such extended periods. And make sure you let the dealership/dodge know that you’re going to be unable to do the necessary things to keep from voiding warranty. Like that oil change every six months. Unless you find a place/have a buddy who is going to do it for you while you’re out of the country.

Why not ship it and drive it for the 2 years, then sell if you want before coming back. Otherwise you will do what I did and regret selling it. And then spend countless hours of regret and lost sleep. Even to the point I searched every day day and night trying to find another one. Agonized how stupid I was selling mine and should never have sold her to the point I began drinking more and getting violent. I would think I found one and then sadly it was not what i wanted. And then I found one and paid huge monies for her and had to have her shipped to my residence. Then I had to go over the whole car and take it apart and put it back together to satisfy my addictions to perfection even though I am not perfect. But hell who in the hell is perfect I mean I read @bull postings all the time and scratch my head. Then @hunter just supports whatever @bull says. Then @1971demon man comes out of nowhere reinforcing how stupid I was selling my first one. Hickster gets involved and can’t decipher half the sentences and am stumped. But hey yeh go ahead and sell her you will be uhm like me😁?

Its only $ 1700 to ship it, my worry is about the others on the road over there. Reports have it that drivers in Bahrain arent the best.
Thanks for most of your inputs!!

I have seen them 3 wide, traveling the same direction, on a 2 lane road. Definitely a little crazy.

Watch out for the sheep, too. If you hit one, you're required to buy the Sheppard another. Word is that they'll throw the sick out towards the road to get a replacement. That might all be bullshit but I saw a ton of dead sheep on the side of the road when I was deployed there in 2006 haha.

If you're headed to the Navy base up in Manama, that base is pretty sweet. Plenty of other Western style places around it, too.
