This would easily net me over $10-11K, which could be used for increasing my cash reserves or finishing the trike, even possibly purchasing another vehicle in the future... I like to be in the position to jump on a deal when one becomes available and this would put me in that position.
Better to have your money work for you, than to work for your money. I'm constantly astonished by people living paycheck to paycheck that make twice my salary, and live half as lavishly.

Having money set aside for a rainy day or an investment opportunity is very wise.
