What should i do??? Put Money Into My Car Or Buy Another - HondaClub.com

**dre5491** · 03-01-2007, 06:38 PM

I have a 1994 honda accord coupe lx.. i'm wondering what you guys think it has 156k on the engine in it now.. and i paid $2100 for the car.. the interior is pretty much trashed the tranny is in good shape and the engine is in decent shape... do you think i should jus go ahead and get a engine swap w/ mt or jus get another car with less miles and mt and put money into that...

IMO you should go for another car, because:

1) The one part you said was good (tranny) you are swapping out
2) The interior is the one place you are sitting in all the time
3) As miles go up so does matience cost (after the first few thousand)

it also depends on how much the transmission swap would be

if you ask me it all comes down to how much you like the car if you like the car then its worth it if you dont care much about your car then why bother with it i know myself i would never give my car up but thats me i love my car and ive had it for about 4 years now its cost me money and all but thats the way it goes every car is going to cost you sooner or later

IMO, I think it all depends. Do you truly love the car? If not you rbetter of buying a new one and not sinking more money into it. I'd say move on as long as your not attached to your baby.

auto = good in traffic
manual = good everywhere where it isn't bumper to bumper traffic

and besides, if there is a lot of traffic it will make your left leg stronger
