I moved to Arlington, VA a few months ago after college for a job. I have been leaving my car in unmarked and unmetered street parking not too far away from the apartment I live in. I would move my car periodically but haven't done so in about 1.5 months due to life things and just not checking. Today I found out via mail sent to my mother's house (didn't change my drivers license information so that's why it got sent there) that my car was towed on 02/20/2020. The bill is $2,200.
The car is a 2008 Ford Taurus in good condition with about ~170k miles on it. I haven't driven it at all recently due to living in a commuter city and the whole situation with Corona. Despite not driving a lot, the car has sentimental value since it was my grandpa's gift to me before passing. I'm having trouble deciding whether to keep it due to it's sentimental value or to get rid of it since I only have $2,600 in the bank. I have a secure job that pays well but I will definitely feel like I'm living paycheck to paycheck if I pay the bill. If you were in my shoes what would you do?
