So it looks like I might have to let the Celica go sometime soon. The problem is, that I need to replace the head gasket, that's going to be a good $1k-$1.5k from somewhere reputable it seems.
So I am asking your guys' opinions. Do you think it is worth it to keep the Celica and put more money into fixing it up or maybe time to move on to another car? Keeping in mind that the car IS 13 years old and may have other problems I havn't come across yet. I realize it'll probably be more of a biased opinion on this forum, but I'm just really confused right now what I should do. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"
