Sell the SE, work a little bit to save a little money, find a good condition priced S5 TII... and enjoy it for what it is. You will learn mechanics real fast lol. But you are still young, the joys of building and playing with cars starts after highschool in my opinion. When you can actually afford to play with em.

But if I'm able to fix it up then wouldn't I be able to sell it to someone for a good price regardless of the fact that it's a S4 N/A SE? Or would it be hard to sell this car? Because I really rather screw up on a cheap car than actually buy a TII and **** up. Besides if I buy interior and body parts, I can part those out and get a good amount of the money back. Or even better, just transfer the interiors to the S5 when I do get one. Because at this moment, I'm not really fit to buy a S5 TII.

Is your SE really clean? If it is, I'd hold on to it. Good platform for a swap further down the road.

My SE is actually pretty clean. The inside is in very good condition and my whole inside is almost gutted out. I bought it for 650 with a broken clutch and 87k on chassis and motor. Pretty good deal if you ask me. The inside is in perfect condition after some small revisions.

You gotta be like me! find an S5 GTU with 50k on clock with a bad owner, buy it for $400 spend $1000 on a rebuild. Then rock out in an almost cherry S5!
