You should take your top back to ICBC and argue for the "life time" repair guarantee. ICBC should had replaced it in the first place.

Gas "freshness" is not a big deal. Car storage aren't that much work in all honesty (I have a Z3M shoe, e36 and a M5 in storage). Even if you don't prep, new car batteries are cheap, same as oil and filters, wheel flats evens out after a few km. One thing you didn't mention is did you keep it in doors or outdoors. That makes a big deal with AC. I would get the scrape fixed though.. the are places that would do a pretty good job for cheap.

It is a rare car for Canada, you should be able to sell at a good price in the summer. Clutch etc are easy to fix. If you can wait or have room to store, I would just store it for a few years and get Collectors ( a few years away). Once your kid goes to Kindergarten your wife most likely want to have a cheap run about.. that sounds about a right car to have around.

It depends on how much disposable income you have and how much of a car guy you are.

Since this board is full of people who like to buy cars cheap, once they smell blood....
