Dilemna! ES300 available to me for $750-1000, Bad coil - whoopty sh*t Options

[DEATH]

This is Celica related - read on.

OK I got an extreme dilemna here. i already have my GT2 which is my weekend car/money pit. So as to not drive that everyday I just bought a LS400 with low milage and all the options for my DD. It needs rims, suspension and paint. But today along comes a black ES300 from a friend that just needs an ignitor coil [Which I have laying around] to run great. Good paint, great tint, stereo etc - It's got the 1mz-fe. I'm half tempted to buy it and garage both the other two cars and just DD this one -or- buy this one and a Celica shell and build a v6 Celica.
On the other hand - don't I have fcukin enough cars as it is? IDFK what to do.

[DEATH]

I do not follow any of that logic whatsoever. Hell no would I EVER sell the Celica and why would I downgrade from a LS to an ES? The true dilemna for me is letting a perfectly good deal like that go - especially with dreams of a second swapped 6gc in my head - v6 this time.
IDK - maybe I should just pass this on to a friend/family member in need of a good car. That should help my Car-ma tremendously.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.


My first inclination is to say pick it up and hang onto it for a few months while you decide what to do for sure. I think you should swap it into the Celi. But if you decide you just don't have the time/interest/whatever to do that, you can always fix it and flip it. So what if 10% goes to the gov't? Not that I think they should get it, that's BS, but from the principal of it, it's worth the 10% to have been able to decide for yourself what to do with it rather than let the opportunity pass you by. If you decide to swap it in, you can always start parting out what you won't need from the Celi NOW so you can raise capital for the swap. You won't come out even or anything, but if you part the remainder of the ES, I bet you'll come out pretty damn close, or at least compared to what it would've otherwise cost.

Buy it and sit on it a few months.
