Well here is my debate PS. My GTP has had a good life n plenty left in it with a few improvements and i ma thinking about getting rid of her.

What it needs…front sway bar-15 bucks
Possibly a tranny within the next year or so-200 or 400 built up with gears
Lil bit of paint work on the front air dam-200
4 Small dents pulled 150
Fog light-free with just some time
odd n ends-200

So…i could get away with about 1000 or less and havea nice DDas well as track car here. It has 83,000 on it right now. OR…i could sell it and get something like a truck or newer GTP or bla bla.

OR…keep it and put a lil money into it and save up for another ride when i get money for d DP.

The cars is worth about 7g’s right now as it sits.

I could also either put in my cam and everything in th other motor i have sitting here and with a lil tuning(100 bucks) have a nice 12 second DD and snow monster.

I am stuck inbetween a rock n a hard place right now:(

DD race car… not a good option… sell it

3

It would hardly go to the track though adn be ran rough,i have a modular pulley system so i can juts change boost as i please for less stress

4

sell it, buy something reliable, save for a house. Buy a toy later

5

Thought baout that,but i love the GTP’s and now that they stopped making them by the time i would be ready to get another one 97-03 they will all have high miles on them n not worth it… Plus, what is reliable and mods easy n nice at the same time,i cannot drive around a 15 second POS

6

I think one of the bigger questions is: Is the car paid off? If so KEEP IT!, If not you may want to consider other options.

7

O ya.cars payed off in full…:blue:

8

then keep it lightly yet fun modded. Save money

Cars are a bad investment, very very fun. But whenever it comes down to financials vs the car… financials should always win

This is true jay. I se what u are saying n i also thought about selling it paying off close to half of my debtr with about 3g’s left over for a semi nice beater,butthe nagain.there goes the fun statis n reliable statis as well. I hate desicions,this is y i have had only two cars so far, first one i had to get rid of…money pit…

If your interested in a 04+ GTP then I would look more into that option. You can find a low mile GTP or CompG for somewhere around 13-15k. All depends on if that car is enough to keep you happy.

11

sometimes you need to have a do over.

If you have an asset worth money in one corner. But you have debt in the other corner. You need to borrow from that positive asset and eliminate debt

12

Yup,i have been so close to getting rid of it for that reason,i hate having debt and hell i am only 10g’s in debt so far. I am not good with desicions when it comes to things i like and want.

13

$10,000 in debt at average interest rates, at minimum payments can turn into $23,000 in debt, and over 12 years to pay off

14

why it the fuck would you want a Grand Prix as a track car? :rofl:

15

same reason why someone would mod a maxima.

It can be done

16

i could strap a rocket to a moped and run 10’s. Doesnt make it practical.

17

think back a decade or so… why would you mod a civic, and now look

18

because they’re light as shit, built well and cheap to buy/modify.

19

but original with no aftermarket support, the motor was not the ideal platform, until people messed with it, and made it work

20

a B18C swapped civic hatch with some weight reduction and suspension is a fun car.

but that really doesn’t matter. We’re talking about a Grand Prix.
