Ok heres the dilemma- I have a 93 hatch motors gone out on me, an I have a 90 coupe which ive got a motor an trans waitin to go in. I am definatly keepin the coupe because ive had my fun with hatch's an need a new project. But Ive been out of a car for a few months now an I could probally get the coupe up an runnin within the next month. An then try an get the hatch running or I can trade my hatch for a downpayment on a 96 Ford Ranger black 5spd. An its only 50 bucks a week after that. So should I trade my hatch for a downpayment on the truck, so 1 ill have a car to drive, 2 i can tow my coupe around, 3 i can put parts in an not have to worry bout gettin it dirty. But 4 i wont have a hatch an ill be gettin less than half I would for it if I got it runnin, but that could take a long time. Sorry for the long post im just really confused on what to do, i really loved that hatch :(, but all good things must come to an end.

Personally I would keep the hatch, but thats only because my dad has a truck. If he didnt, id still most likely keep the hatch since I dont have much things to move around.

Jeff, keep the coupe, work on it, make it NICO worthy. Only then can i say you can get a truck. but i know what your setup will be on the coupe so heck, go for it. have you driven a ford lately?

I have a 91 coupe AND a 92 Ford Ranger..........I've really been considering selling both and buying another motorcycle (murder cycle as my girlfriend calls them). Anyway, if you really need that pick-up, I can honestly say that this Ranger has been rock solid. I am really biased when it comes to American rides, I can't stand them. The fit and finish is always terrible, they look like crap, have terrible ergonomics and are always uncomfortable.......

The exception is the Ford pick-ups.......as much as I hate to say it, I think it will last longer than my Nissan!!! If you really need it, I'd say you won't be disappointed. Granted this is based on my experience with ONE vehicle in a fleet of hundreds of thousands.
