Default THoughts ?????

I know this question has been ask before ...BUT right now its more a project ...I have a 2004 3.9 ...The question is ...would it be more affordable to switch a v8 into her or sale her and buy a V8 car ..BUT my delima is i owe on my car and what i owe is more then what she is worth ..SO if i sold her i wouldnt get anything ( really ) ....SO i thought it would be about the same to switch the engine as it would to try and sale her and come up with the money to put a down payment on a V8 car .....


THoughts ???????

First of its sell not sale, and second stop calling your car her. And why would you sell your car if your not going to get anything for it. Sooo Option 1: Sell it and you end up with $0 profit and have to spend about 7-10k out of pocket for a GT. Option 2: Take that 10k buy an M112&cowl hood, springs, shocks (all the goodies), Gears and truetrac, lt's full exhaust, and build a car that could beat a GT. Hmmmm.......

Yeah i don't understand either. Unless you haven't made any payments or close to none.

Your best way of dealing with this is to just keep the car until the economy turns back around really. Then the value of your car will go up. But honestly no one knows when that'll happen.

If you still owe on your car you shouldnt even consider selling it. The V8 will be a waste of money. My car will be paid off 2 1/2 years early this monday, Im cheering. Time for some serious upgrades but Im laid off till October maybe end of July.

Save your money. Pay off existing car. Sell old car for profit and then buy new one. Dont be impatient.
