If you live in a (bigger) city you simply don't need a car...

I can drive to the store by bike or even walk there if I want.

I work in a different city than I live and travel to my workplace by train in 30min.

The only things I need a car for are travels to are tiny town which doesn't have good public transports or when I need to transport something thats to heavy to carry.

I'm in the same boat - I'm in a city of a half million, and I own a car, but it's a decade old, and I only use it 1) evenings and weekends when the bus doesn't run as often, 2) when I want to move heavy and/or large items, or 3) when I travel out of town. Between those I only put about 10-15,000 km on my car in a year, and at least a third of that is cross-country road trips to visit my family.
