Keep It??? Or just get rid of It??

[shad'O]

Comrades I need your insight, I have a 95 GS that had many problems with it from the begining. I have fixed a lot of the problems however they seem to alwayz arrive new ones. I had both control arm issues on both sides fixed one side and now I am stumped cause it cost me over $300 to do the right upper and lower and i want to do my rear struts, not to forget that fact that my car needs a new engine. My question is should i even waste my money in fixing these problems or should I jus sell this and buy a turbo which is what I really want ne way?? See the thang is I'm doing all this work jus to get the car up to it's stock standards, when I want it to be a rice eater, which lets me know i have a long way to go to get to that status. But if I try to get anuva eclipse I'd have to worry about that cars problems however it ud have the turbo so I'd be half way there. Ppl let me know by tell'n me "Sell it", Or "Keep it"!

Sell it and buy a turbo. It'll be a LOT cheaper that fixing up that car AND buying a turbo kit for it... which usually makes up the difference between a turbo and an N/T... and the engine already designed for turbo is more reliable with forced induction and can handle higher boost...


Short version is that first line up top. Sell it and buy a turbo. And have a mechanic do a FULL inspection this time, so you don't get one that'll immediately need major repairs just to get it up to snuff.

ight I will keep that in mind im waying my options, and I will make my decision. how much shud I sell my 2g for?

Check Kelly Blue Book, look in the papers and see what a going rate for your area is. Hell, I paid way too much for a beaten-to-crap 1Ga GSX because they're so uncommon in this area, and come on the market even less often.

Also take into account your car's condition. Might try to get back out what you put into it... but don't count on it. :b

Get a turbo for sure. If a 2g is too expensive for you go for the 1g. I just got mine and they are really great cars!

I am thinking about getting A 1g but only for fun I love the 2g's body style I think no car can mess with it. Its BOOTY-FUL.

sell it and buy a turbo,trust me i know.I sold my 95 for 2800 last year.This was in florida.It had 137k on it,but was virtually spotless.

Eh, 2gs have the newer car/melted jellybean/stylized skull look going for them.

1gs (especially white 1Gas) have the 80's spaceship thing going on. Always keep a CD in the car to play the Imperial March when you're just cruising around.

I like to keep an old fast n furious CD in my car.
