What to do, what would you do? Options

Insurence is in his name, but i pay the difference. I give him $800 a year to be on it with my Celi.

not trying to be mean, but it sounds like you know what you want... so go for it... plenty of people including myself have told you that this may not be the best trade... and you are going behind your dad's back.... so why ask questions if you are going to send everyone a some rebuttal?

[Superaison]

Well, not entirely.

Anyway, It's an equal trade at the moment. Non running car for a non running car, and I told my dad i'm trading my car for a 95 ST hatchback.. He said "Ok"..

[Nial]

Am I the only one who can see this ending in tears?...I guess not

Do yourself a favour, buy a cheap car that runs, no matter what it is, enough to get you from A to B, save up and buy yourself a running Celica in better condition when you can afford to.

It might not be your prefered idea, but as soon as you start playing your parents its bad news...if they find out and you destroy their trust in you it could make things very uncomfortable for you if you ever need them for anything else they might just tell you to take a hike. Swapping one ****ed up Celica for another seems like a crazy waste of time.

[Superaison]

Was thinking about fixing mine and selling it. Then buying maybe a honda....

[Nartanian]

If you fix it then why would you buy a honda?

[SwissFerdi]

Dude, you're jumping all over the place...I think you need to sit down and figure out what you really want.

[Superaison]

Why would I buy a honda? Well, 99% of my friends that fix cars, only fix hondas (and do **** with them).. So why not? They will do work I want done free (within reason).

But my toyota is just a huge project nobody wants. I think i'm gonna fix and sell. Then idk. I love celica's, I wanted a way to get another celica, but I guess that seems to be too big of an issue. Imo, it's not.

Superaison man, you started this thread to ask people what they would do, but all i have seen is you shoot down every single idea anyone has posted.

Trade one useless non running celica for another? oh my, what progress you'd make!

WHY did you start this thread if you know what you wanna do?

If you want a honda, sell your celica, save on insurance for a while and buy a crappy honda.

This is one of the most pointless threads i have seen yet.

[SwissFerdi]

I understand why he'd make a thread, and I'm also pretty indecisive...so I wouldn't call it pointless. It should've just taken a lot less talk to get to this point, if anyone knows what I'm saying...

[Superaison]

^^^ I am very undecisive.


This is what i'm doing.

Plan A.)

Have a friend replace my headgasket, see if car runs.. If OK.. then;
See if dad lets me keep it(you know how if u actually put someone on the spot they have a different outcome?), if not, see if he atleast lets me drives it till it sells

Plan A2.)
Replace headgasket. If it don't work;
Trade that guy, buy an engine and replace(prolly a parts car I found).

How's that sound?

[Jamchell]

A1 sounds like a solid plan, A2 is risky though given your circumstances, and short cash flow. Just park it at friend's and part it out if it doesn't work. You will get way more for it this way than if you sell to J/Y or as a rolling chassis. Just the headlights are worth as much as you would get from a salvage yard lol.



Good Luck!

[Superaison]

I know lol. Well, A2 is what would happen if the car didnt run after head gasket.
