When/ if??! Are you implying you'd like to become a Chinese? That's very nice

More that I've been here 2 years already and I'm probably going to stay at least a couple more until my Chinese is at least conversational. Given that the car will be around 20 years old by then there might not be any point in buying it back.

For some reason, I'm getting Johnny 5 vibes...

Roaky's car looks shocked!

Well as long as it's just been sitting it's not like it'll be any different/worse than it is now. Unless it's sitting outside...

How did you know the car's been sitting outside?!

Psychic!

I doubt they bought it off me just to let it sit around.

I doubt they'd sell it back if it was doing anything but sitting around.

Technically, there can't be any (selling/ buying/ reselling) transactions if you're never the owner of the car and the original owner is still the owner.

Don't you have any friends then?

Conversation :

Friend : I need a car.
Me : My car isn't doing anything while I'm in China.
Friend : Can I have it?
Me : As long as I can have it back when I get back from China.

Selling it is important cause it means that I can turn it over to my friend and get it in their name. I wouldn't want to be legally responsible for someone else driving my car. Think about it, any parking tickets etc would come back in my name but wouldn't be answered cause I'm not there!
