I have an unmarked 1998 TDX with just 28,000 genuine miles from new [one private owner - me !]. Is it worth running into the ground or selling soon to maximize its value to me - all ideas appreciated.

Value
Hi there, 28,000 miles on the clock! Wow that's a good 'un, personally I'd keep it, I love fourtraks, mines done 96,000 on an M plate and there's many years left in mine, so you'd have to run half a lifetime to run it into the ground lol, it's up to you mate!!
All the best

Keep it
If you've got one that good with that mileage keep it.
With such a vehicle it is
With such a vehicle it is worth keeping it and doing a little work to preserve it, and prevent many of the foibles which afflict them.
Rust is the most serious problem, so a simple clean and spraying of Waxoyl or similar to the underside and chassis is beneficial. Remember to do the inside of the chassis as well as many crossmembers can rot, as can the chassis, from the inside out.
Spraying inside the rear wheel arches prevents the common problem of them corroding, this wil need the panels removing to access them.
Why sell? car prices are currently down for 4X4's, so you would not maximise any sale price.
