Honda Civic - Should I sell it or keep it?

I think I have posted this before. I have given deep thoughts if I decide to sell my "show-winning" Honda Civic. It has been sitting in the garage (and collecting dust) for over a year now. I've put a lot of work into it so it's hard to let go. I was attached to my "sweetcivic" :) Feeling indecisive. Here are the basic details:

- Reason for selling: to pay off the new car
- Year: 1994, Model: 4-door Honda Civic EX
- Japanese Spec
- Manual 5-speed
- Color: Turquois/aqua
- Mileage reading: 188,720km
- Engine: 1999 Integra Type-R
- no A/C, but have the parts
- Winter tires included (good tread)
- great condition, always kept clean
- no leaks
- maintenance always kept up-to-date
- no major accidents
- have all the receipts for work done
- needs a new battery
- Asking: $6000

I am still into the car scene, but don't really have the time to participate in much of the events/shows with the Civic. Until our little Brandon is older, car stuff & car hobby should be a little more fun again.
