My zx2 is already a rebuilt title with an exhaust going out. Plus the engine already has 142k and the cams are burned. It's just not worth putting money into the car at this point. I only paid 1600 exactly 3 years ago. It's more than paid for itself at this point and it's just going to be a money pit.

My dad is really trying to convince me to get another Zx2 just because at this point (he also owns one) we know pretty much everything about these cars. And my car can be a parts car and then sold since it still runs.

I'm fine with that except that if I'm going to spend a decent amount of money on a new car, shouldn't I get something that I think is going to be a little bit nicer...Plus would be more useful and practical to own if I could actually have some room to move stuff in.
