If my plan is to get rid of it anyway, then I would want to get rid of it now and replace it with a comparable vehicle that I could plan to keep.
At the end of the day, passions aside, a car literally is something you use for awhile and sell when you're done with it. This is a straight up business transaction. Did it possibly change the OP's future hopes and his fervent dream of someday being buried in an old Toyota? Maybe. Stuff happens.
