hey guys, i've been trying to weigh up the odds as to which i'd prefer.
OPTION 1:
1994 VR Executive, 5 speed manual approx 200,000k's (speedo says 164,000 stopped a few years back), fully original very nice car, excellent condition $3000. My parents bought it from new in 1994.
OPTION 2:
1997 VS Esteem, 4 speed auto, 94,000k's (speedo works) original, great condition $8000 approx (hopefully after negioation).
The VR has a lot of potential and i've got a fair bit of left over cash to spend on it. ie $3000 car, $500 suspension, $2000 mags, $1500 sound system..... i don't know if i'll stop (that's the problem). However, the VS, i'd prolly just leave it as it is. If i spent all that money on the VR, i'd never see it again once i sold it, a VR is just a VR no matter how much you spend on it (i don't intend to go crazy with mods). The VS has the ECOTEC engine, power windows, and mechanically less wear and tear. Manual or auto, doesn't really bother me, long term prolly auto, but V6 commy manuals are hard to come by.
It's a hard decision i gotta make soon. mum and dad are gonna sell the vr and get a mazda 6, so i got the option of getting it for $3000. Just wondering what you guys think, what would you do ??? Which is the better option ???
Thanks,
Peter.
