Should I put my money toward replacing my brake and fuel lines and fix my oil leak. It'll be around $400 after I get everything I need

.....or.....

save for this since I feel like it's a lot more rare and could use a good home.....

I'd fix your 6th gen first. Gotta take care of your DD before having any toys on the side. No sense in having two cars that are giant money pits and no money to fix either one.

Fix your Celica.


Need a reliable DD before a project. Two broken cars won't do you any good.

Id probably buy the celica
But on the same hand your still in school right?
An your car still stays at your parents house too right?
I think you would be best to just fix the 6g if both of those ia still yes
Its alot easier to focus on just one than both since your dd already needs major work
Trust me i got 3 projects an 2 dd's that im always working on after awhile everything it takes its tole on your wallet lol
But if your out of school an got a job where you can handle working on both then i say go for it an buy the celica just look it over very closely an crawl over ever inch of that car

Best thing would be to fix you're current car, then try to come up with more money for the other if you want it for a project.

I waiting till next summer to do the stuff brake lines and fuel lines. I wanted to get it done this summer because of my oil leak, but it just randomly stopped after 2 years of it being there...so I'm probably either going to get stuff for my camera with that money or invest in another DJ controller.

There's nothing wrong with saving the money. You don't have to spend it. wink.gif


I nickel and dime myself to death on everything, but it's also how you save money and it pays off in the future.

I could have saved it, but I've been a DJ for the past few years now and I want to get more into the mixing and stuff like that since it's pretty big money if you go big, or even just at a local club.
