Don't sell the car OP. Seems to me that you really love this car. I was put in a similar predicament when I had to leave the car unused for several months as well. I thought a lot about selling it b/c it was just sitting there but this car means too much for me atm. Don't sell it! Pull the battery negative terminal out, fill the gas tank up to full(minimize moisture condensation), and put a car cover over it in the meantime- among all the other things you can do before it goes for storage. Hope you take care of those seizures!

Keep it for 3 months, see how your seizures are and decide then. You'll probably get more money for it in June anyways!

Keep it for the six months unless the seizures continue. After 6 months then re-evaluate.

you will regret selling it.

wait 6 months to drive it again or wait 6 months to buy a new one again.

i miss mine so dearly and i have to fight the urge to buy a cheap wrecked one because i know it's just waiting a little longer to save up for a nice S.

First of all, I am sorry for your situation but it sounds very much you really love this car. I believe you should keep the car and see how these 6 months go. How your condition during this period we'll probably better tell you if you should keep it or sell it. Anyways, hopefully everything goes well.

I totally agree with trouble not buying a wrecked one . I would have a problem not having an S at all. It seems so cheap to by a salvaged one at first, but then it will nickel and dime you to death. But I do have a friend of mine that will drive the car on occasion. He helped tune it, so I know he at least knows how to care for it (drives a 370z in the summer). Pretty sure I am gonna sneak the S out for a hot date Friday . It's so worth it...

Have a good night guys,

-Josh

Wait a bit to see how the seizures work out. If they continue there may be no reason to keep the car. If you haven't already, change the status of your insurance so that it is covered for fire/theft/etc only and not liability. This will save you a few bucks. I do this with my car every winter. I hope things work out for you!
