Trade my car or keep

[glennerd87]

I have a 97 Eclipse GS with...
93,000 miles
Intake
Exhaust
Head unit
Subs
New Speakers

my friends dad, who owns a car dealership, just got a 95 gs-t in on a trade it has...
125,000 miles
looks basically stock
bad clutch

he said he would sell it for $2,500 should get the GS-T?
If i do get it should i trade my car in or sell my car outright?
the only thing is all the crap i did to my car i really don't feel like doing it again .

Thanks for the help

Trade it other than id do the conversion of the bumbers off a later 2g but thats personal i like them better. you would be starting out better and much easier to make quick.
but good luck

I'd wait for a GSX...

But it does sound like a good deal. Don't trade your car, you will get screwed no doubt. The dealer has to fix everything that's busted, and check over a million things, then sell it for a hefty profit. That equals you getting half of what they plan on selling it for.

But thats the fun part!
I say get the GsT unless you want to spend 6k for a GSX. Have fun learning about it and when you feel its right you can move on to a GSX. Also I would sell your car privatley not through trade in (you'll get more money for it)

yeah i would go for the gst , just for the fact that the power you can make with just a little bit of money

Then don't do it again

Stock, the GS-T is gonna be quite a bit quicker than your modded GS. As far as the stereo, that's 3 hours worth of reinstalling if you're slow.

what do u guys think the insurance difference will be?

 

[SkyLineGtR-R34]

i wouldn't even doubt about that...
definitley gst

as far as the insurance goes i don't think you'll have more than $50 on six months

 

[GSX6bolt]

what do u guys think the insurance difference will be?

Difference will be:

GS-T will be faster on roll ons/highway/top speed (unless you dont fix the rev limiter because GS-T top out at 120 i believe) FWD, going to be slower off the line.

GSX will be faster off the line, a bit slower on roll ons. Top speed 140+. GSX is the car to go with when your looking to make a low 1/4 time, and when your ready to spend some real, real dough.

Why SLIP when you can GRIP ...

thanks for the info but a gsx isnt in the picture, it would be nice, but a gst is the one that i'm looking at
