Matt,

You don't say WHY you need to sell a car.  Were it I, I'd be inclined to keep
them all.  Reasoning?

1.) The Vanagon.  No explanation needed.  But you must consider the source.
2.) The Ford P/U.  Gotta have a P/U to move big dirty things.  Mine's an old
'78 GMC that has about a million miles on it.  Burns oil, leaks pwr steering
fluid, gets about 10 mpg on a good day.  But I gotta have it.  It sits
probably 360 days/year. But when I need it, nothing else will do.
3.) The Honda. My/our other car is an '84 Eagle.  Living in the mountains, one
HAS to have a winter car and the Eagle's it.  Your Honda can serve the same
purpose.  Let it slide off the road in the winter. Besides, you say selling it
is not an option.

Looks like you HAVE to keep all three.  BTW, I am reminded of a friend who
sold his motorcycle to pay for his first kid's birth.  Kid had a kid before he
got his promised replacement.  Be careful my friend, "after grad school" is
open ended.
