Possibly letting go...., your opinion Options

So, while doing a routine oil change I came across an exploded driver side cv halfshaft. Being this would be the 4th one Ive replaced (one due to just cause new parts)...I started to look at the possibility of moving on from my current DD. While estimating trade in vs private sale values ive come to realize (as im sure most of us have) that im only building sentimental value with the car while it depreciated daily.
Dont get me wrong, I love this car....had a good time learning the in and out of it. Like most of you, ive sunk more money in to it than it's worth. I have been looking into something with more doors (cause growing family). Ive been contemplating on selling the stuff like hood/skirts/etc...and either selling the car stock or scraping it. There isnt much action here for celicas something I wanted to get some unbiased opinions in what would you do...given the situation (realistically)?

It's the ash tray in the back though, unless they're advocating children smoking they must've thought adults would fit. Though in fairness hypothetically two average adult males would fit in the front and two average adult females would fit in the back.

I think most cars you can still order a smoker's package and then it'll have ash trays, but most people buy what's on the lot and not many people that do smoke would use an ashtray anyway so they've fallen out of favour.

ANYWAY, to keep on topic one of the older Lexus sedans would be nice and comfy and in the same price range as the Celica which is what I'm assuming is what you have to work with. Honestly if I absolutely HAD to get a sedan I'd look into a BMW M5 or the Cadillac CTS-V since you can get them with a manual and they're still competent performers.
