The hardest decision I've ever made Options

[turbohcar]

Here I am, lost in thought, wondering what a logical man would do. I have a 1997 Chrysler Sebring with 76k miles on it. Sitting in my driveway right now is a Black 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Spyder convertible w/ a manual trans that I'm test driving. It has 73k on it and is in pretty good condition. The dealership is going to make me a good deal because I work there. They'll give me $5000 for my car and they want around $9000 for this Spyder. The convertible top has a problem with the frame and needs to be repaired in order for the auto drop top to work. Right now I have to manually do it. There is also a small hole in the drivers leather seat, nothing major. What would you do?

A. Trade in the Sebring and finance $4000, make payments.
B. Trade in the Sebring and sell my 91 AWD Talon thus making my daily driver and project car one in the same.
C. Don't buy it! It's a bad deal.

If I do buy this car, it's going to serve as my daily driver, thus the mods will be kept to a minimum. MidwestDSM can attest to it's beauty and driveability. I love driving it but I'm not sure what I should do. I'm afraid of the dreaded crankwalk but the clutch feels firm with no symptoms. What would you do?

sharp car. Crankwalk aside, leave it a nice daily driver, something that wont get you pulled over for noise issues, less mods the better chances that the crank will stay true. Wouldnt hurt to have the thrust washers replaced every 40k or so.

Rule of thumb, dont make your daily driver your race car. Id say buy it. Sebring wont sell outright, employer or not, you are going to take in in the rear trading it in.

Mod the awd1g. Leave the black beauty queen alone and she will service you well for miles...

Crankwalker.

werd!!!!!
