So, while doing a routine oil change I came across an exploded driver side cv halfshaft. Being this would be the 4th one Ive replaced (one due to just cause new parts)...I started to look at the possibility of moving on from my current DD. While estimating trade in vs private sale values ive come to realize (as im sure most of us have) that im only building sentimental value with the car while it depreciated daily.
Dont get me wrong, I love this car....had a good time learning the in and out of it. Like most of you, ive sunk more money in to it than it's worth. I have been looking into something with more doors (cause growing family). Ive been contemplating on selling the stuff like hood/skirts/etc...and either selling the car stock or scraping it. There isnt much action here for celicas something I wanted to get some unbiased opinions in what would you do...given the situation (realistically)? |

Well this is a hard one cause if it were me I'd never have an automatic four-cylinder.
 Purely if it were me I'd find a larger coupe with a manual trans and the kids would just deal with it.Things probably are different for you. How often are kids riding along? What's your budget? Do you want auto or manual? How important is power? How important is fuel economy? Does it matter if it's FWD, AWD, or RWD? Answers to that will better guide you.
