I've been having a hard time deciding this. My car (151K+ miles)needs some minor frame work, paint, and a transmission to be in perfect shape. I'm thinking $2-2.5K for all that and I've already given $2.5K for the car. It runs great, uses no oil, and gets 30-32 mpg due to me keeping it tuned well. It's also crossed my mind to just look for another S13 that's already in excellent shape. They're hard to find and every mint S13 I've seen was in the $4-4.5 range from dealers, about the same total investment as fixing my current car. But, I can count on one hand the number of mint S13s I've seen within 100 miles of where I live so I'd be looking for a while and I don't know if another car has been cared for like mine. So should I fix up my current baby, or just keep it, save up and wait patiently until I find a perfect S13 fastback and sell the old one?
