Group,

I have been going back and forth over the next steps for my car.

It's in "good" condition, but it could be much better. I.E. the interior is worn, but useable. The engine is good, but could be better. The brakes are good, but...well you know.

So, if I have the car really fixed up, back to the way it was sold, I could spend some serious money. However, I could also buy a car that was restored for less than what I would spend for my car.

I have looked on many classified listing, and a frame off, totally fixed car can be had in the $30 K range...less than what I could spend on my car.

So...what to do ?

Marc
