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?

add one more agreement to spy's words. If you ever have a project car, it's the rule of 2 out of 3. cheap, fast, reliable. with dsm project car's reliable is usually lost, you will break things, but it can be cheap and fast. having a daily driver as well as a project car has kept me out of 'testing the waters' group, and able to drive and be happy even when the project isn't driving.
