Dilemma - Help out :P, Celica or MR2 ? Read on Options

[spawn]

Hello,
I own a Celica '95 automatic with the 3S-FE engine (it's a JDM car).
Now the car needs a paintjob and it was estimated 2,000 pounds (!!).
I got the Celi for 3,800 pounds and bought 17" rims for it (any ideas if they'll fit the MR2 , I'll get a pair of different tires for the rear tho).

I also own an MR2 '92 manual with the 3S-GE engine dyno'ed @ 200hp.
I have to sell one of these cars so what would you do?
I really love the MR2 but it's 13 years old and needs serious repairing (in terms of paintjob, has a scratched and faded dashboard, broken A/C vents and it seems that it has some problems with the engine lately, it seems to be "lagging" I didn't have time to look into it thoroughly tho).

What would you do ? :\
I know it's wiser to spend money on the MR2 since it's a better car than the Celica automatic but still...It needs a butt load of repair

I don't believe in automatic sports cars. I'd stick with the MR2 and just put some money into it by selling the celica.

Unfortunately I can't do that since I need the money for university.
So it's either one and the money to be spent on them are extra.
I guess if I sell the MR2 (they offered me 7.500 for it) I can save the 2,000 for the Celica but is it worth it? :\

can't help you with the dilemma, though i can only tell you the Celica rims won't fit the MR2... they have different PCD's

Damn...
Anyhow I decided to either keep the Celica as is or try finding a GT4 since it offers 4 seats and luggage room and it is fast and worth spending money on (when the MR2 does not )
