from my experience…it seems like buying a swapped car is a lot cheaper then getting it done.

I like just like saying Built not Bought, but that’s just me. Do it yourself nikki its easy as pie and when there’s a problem you will have a better understanding of how to diagnose and fix it.

If you’re the kind of person who likes learning about things, and understanding how your own car works, i would really suggest doing it yourself with the help of some friends etc. you’ll save a lot of money, do it exactly the way you want, and learn a lot.

but some people are just lazy and couldn’t care less about any of that
