Keep the car. Drive and park defensively. I always assume everyone around me is about to do something stupid. I always look for parking spaces where the car is protected or where someone would have to make a deliberate effort to hit it.
While this car isn't an accident magnet, some cars are. Everybody I ever knew who bought a Fiero ended up getting hit. Something about that car's shape made it invisible, even in red.

Huh. I got T-boned at an intersection in my '84 Fiero (yes, bright red) in 1988 by a red-light runner. Other than spending several hours strapped to a backboard due to a misdiagnosed broken neck (it wasn't) that space frame saved me pretty well.
There might be something to your observation!
