You know you will regret it if you do. Just stick through it...it will be worth it in the end.

You know how always it seems that you or a friend 's dad used to own a really sweet car like a Chevelle or a Cobra or a Roadrunner... ... and then they sold it on a whim when they were young?

And now they wish they never would have sold that car?

Dude. Like mwatson said, you KNOW you're going to regret it.

well... im going to see what i can do..... im definatly selling the brown one i think i already have a buyer... but he just wants the motor to put into his 626.. dont ask me why... but it will prolly be gone at the end of next week. so i can focus on the silver one... then find a daily driver..... then get rid of my jeep for some extra cash.

The way I see it, if you're anyone you have two choices:

Spend $$$ per month fixing up an old car, or spend $$$$ per month leasing a new one.. In the long run, it's the same amount of money... which do you want?

Reliable? My dad has has the 80 since new and it has had very little need for repairs of any kind. I'd say it is the most reliable car I have driven. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I find mine to be quite reliable. Most of its problems result from me upgrading something and trying to cheap out by purchasing parts on eBay or something. It has its quirks, but overall its been a great car, so no your not the only one who thinks that way 1stgen4life.

My car is reliable, it's just the 22 year old parts all have decided to go out on me at the same time. heh.

Hell, I drove the car 2000+ miles from WA to IL with no problems at all and she was loaded with stuff from the passenger seat to the hatch area. It already had about 153k miles on it. About to hit 160k soon here.

well as for reliability for rotary its actually pretty good...i have a 85 GSL-SE only major problems was master cylinder clutch and fuel regulator..i read that rotarys are better then the normal engines with pistons cause rotarys are all one motion instead of pistons and call that other bullcrap...KEEP THE RX
