ash unless you want to do major engine work in the future avoid the t-bird seen many of this with blown head gaskets and turbo problems or is super charger cant remember any ways they are a mechanics car at best i would advise you to buy a nice jetta a few years old go with a manual transmission as long as its taken care of and no oil leaks you can get well over 300,000 ks on the engines or more i used to road race em cant kill em..

There are a few of the super coups still around, but not many. If it has the v8, which is a 4.6 i think in that year, it will be a reliable car and cheap to repair if something does happen.


That being said, I agree with the Jeep idea. The 4.0 I6's they had in the Jeeps were one of the best engines ever made IMO.
 
Now only if I had $5k the thing is, its my parents money either I keep the Honda or I get the Tbird if no Tbird then my dad is going to buy it for himself and prob. let my brother have it, if he ever decides to get his license ne who. I also fig if I fixed up the honda it might last longer? The Vtech doesnt have as many miles as the actual car does b/c it was an engine swap, but I do believe it had around 70-80,000 miles on it. My Honda has 122,000 ish miles on it. There was this one guy and he has a civic took it into my friends shop, he had 400,000 miles on it and the thing was in really good cond. I was hoping my car would end up like that! See thats why I ask b/c I am not great with car's so I like hearing what people have to say or experienced with that car, does it end up with alot of problems? whats the gas mileage? Hows the engine? that kind of stuff. then if maybe my car sounds like even If I fix the problems will more pop-up and will it be a cycle? does my car sound like its not worth it? is spending money on a dif. car the better idea or no if I were to get a car that cuases problems? I am sure you get what I am trying to say. If its going to end up cuasing alot of prob. then why waste more moeny and put even more into a car when I can just do that now. Anyways Is till dont know my dec. yet.

if it was my choice i would keep the honda had a couple with 500,000 ks on them great engine honda started as a engine company they build the best engines hands down..
 
My $500 dollar 85' accord had 320 k when I sold it for $300...It's still runnin and that was 2 yrs ago.. I think they finally had to replace the tranny... went and bought a prelude for 300 changed the brakes and it was like new as hondas get LOL.... But hey they run for ever... And they're easy to fix... Sell it for what you can and buy another!! They're cheap and reliable.. Chances are you might even find the same year that is in better condition for what you get rid of yours for.. Oh ya take pictures.. For memories....
 
No matter what you decide, strogly consider this. The car is on its 2nd engine, has 120k miles and 80k on the "new" engine.......

Suicide doors open in reverse Like the old 60s Lincolins had.
