I've been reading a lot of the info/advice on this board and it is impressive. I'm considereing two options - buy another car before my 90SC gets too expensive to keep up with (I kinda like the latest Grand Prix GTP's...) OR, take about half of what I'd spend on the next car and pump it back into my SC, which I'm rather fond of, and keep it going.
I'd really appreciate any advice/thoughts on:
-what should I be worrying about right now? HG blowing soon..., blower crapping out..., etc?
-What would be the best way to put $6-7K back into the bird?
the tranny slips a little when cold but seems to still have a reasonable amount of life left. if I were to redo the engine I probably wouldn't want to sacrifice too much on gas mileage or reliability - although a decent increase in hp/performance would be nice. This is my only vehicle which I drive everyday. Also, I am not an accomplished gearhead beyond the basics. I would always prefer to do any work on my car myself to save money and gain knowledge, but compared to most of the guys on this board I am a novice. I also don't have the tools or space to do much myself.
-Is 6-7K too little to reasonably expect to keep my TB running another ten years w/o major repairs? In ten years will this car be more valuable than it is today? (Collector appeal).
-Would I just pick a date and bring it someplace reliable (where is someplace reliable in NJ?), or wait for something major to go and then let that be the date...
Any thoughts, wisdom, advice, insults...??? Thanks!!
