hey guys! ive been here about a month and im loving all the input im observing. I need some advice from u guys.... i have a 94 st auto, and im thinking about going to school to get my masters, its about time for a new car and my car runs fine, but i work far away and ive got 180 000 miles on it, ive put another stock engine in (its at about 100,000 now) and im wondering if i should just sell the car and finance a recent model used car (RSX 2001 celica) or just take a loan out for $6,000 to swap a new engine (4agze or 3sgte) instead of getting a loan for 14K on a new car. what would u guys do?

The RSX is very nice, but so is a Celica with a swap. In your situation, I'd probably swap in a 3S-GTE and convert to a five-speed. It's way cheaper than buying a RSX, and your car will be faster than any stock RSX.
