So heres my situation. I'm stuck in a huge conflict with myself on whether or not i should buy this car i saw today. Its an absolutely mint condition red 1988 MKI MR-2 SUPERCHARGED with the 4a-gze in it. biggrin.gif

74,000 miles on the clock, cherry exterior with no blemishes or rust, always garaged and babied, engine is a little bit dirty but the owner of the used car place I live near drives it all the time, and i've driven beind him before (so i know he wasnt lying when he said that it was his car) T-tops, amazingly good interior with new steering wheel and all stock interior....amazing car. Asking 4 grand. smile.gif

Now my celica....1994, needs bodywork to get rid of dents and rust, about 155k on the car, ripped drivers seat, but has a great engine, loaded with features, and a bitchin stereo...lol.

Now, the dilemma is this---- do i sell my Celica and get more than enough to buy this rare MR2 like some of you other guys on here, or do i spend the money i have saved for bodywork on the Celica to make that a great car instead???? frown.gif

Well, first off about the MKI....after looking at ALOT on the net last night doing some research, i realized how rare it really is, and it keeps tempting me. The good news is that at the moment its in good hands and the owner, who also owns the used car lot in town, babies it and im a witness to it. Regardless, what a great car, and i really dont think he's going to be selling it real soon...sooo, i could always look into buying it another time or making some kind of payments on it. Also, at the moment i wouldnt be able to garage it which would kill me because it is nicer than any other stock or modified MKI ive seen amd deserves to be kept perfectly due to its rarity and condition.

For the time being, i cant say goodbye to my Celica and give up this easily. Whoever owned that MR2 put alot of time into keeping it in great shape and doing repairs to make it look like new (if it hasnt always looked that way).
I think its MY turn to give the Celica what it really deserves, and spend that 3-4 grand to give it a new life in every way just like that MR2, with possibly more potential, practicality, better overall design, higher resale, features, etc. wink.gif

Although im going to be riding in it or *hopefully* driving it tommorrow at 11am, so i'll let you all know how it goes and take some pictures of it too. Should be a real experience. smile.gif
