Sign up with Google Sign up with FacebookQ: rent car to someone?
i am planning to buy a new car... but has not figured out what to do with the old one. Selling it means wasting a lot of money.. its better to use the old one 2-3 more years then..
Is there any other way to get some return from the investment?.. like renting it to someone? is there any companies which can take it on a long term rental? will that be profitable? will i get into trouble in case of accidents?
The old car is a black mondeo - 4yrs old. 120000kms.

China's second hand market is very immature. Did you ask the dealer if they will take it if you buy a new car
Thakkudu:
yes they will.. but as i said.. price too low.. ~110000... considering the car is well managed and maintained - its still good enough as 1 year old when i use it.. original price was 225000... so its like worth 180000 for me when i use it myself... so doesnt feel like selling it for 110000 :(
may be i will keep it for 2more yrs.... rental business is headache and not worth the risk as i got info here :(

The rule of thumb I grew up with was. The first 10 meters, of the dealers curb, is where your car drops 30% in value. The cost of the new car smell is high. I would agree you car should be able to fetch 150k.
If it runs without problems, keep driving it. You will not get a significant bump up in comfort (or face) unless you go for a BMW/Merc/Lexus. But then the numbers will look less favorable.
Thakkudu:
plan was mercedes C260 or C180coupe...
some think its not worth changing as its smaller car compared to mondeo..
C260sport got huge discount these days... 100000less
Scandinavian:
it is a nicer car though. I think I would personally keep the Ford longer, when it's been used a year or two more, then the gap between actaul value and the price you can get for it will be smaller
I will take it off your hands ...... name your price .... and where dO i COME TO PICK UP MY NEW WHEELS?

Why all the Cap letters? You know when you do that it shows that you are shouting!! Just thought I'd tell you this as it seems like you didn't know this before.

Sparkey, why do you post when you have to know no one wants to read anything of yours,,, to put it politely
You could rent the car to someone, but if you do it would sort of be like a business. Even though you rent it out things can happen to the car. You never know in these kind of situations. Your best bet would be to sell it and get it off your hands as quickly as possible. BHGAL seems pretty desperate as he shows signs of shouting to get his voice heard over there. (!
He he, I said: "voice"!
Rental cars get the shit beaten out of them, why rent it?
