Need some advice from the 6gc fam, swap? Options

[easternpiro1]

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?

Why would you want to stick with an auto? cars are there to be driven. There are some very rare GT4 automatics kicking about, I saw one for sale about a year ago so it is possible to mate up an auto box to the 3sgte engine. I`d put an non-automatic in, much more fun and drivable, make yourself part of the driving experience and not just a glorified passenger.

Oh and I`d keep the Celica and do a swap
