need some help on which way to go

[rapom61363]

ok here goes, i currently have a 91 supra 5 speed with sunroof (pretty rare) and its been swapped to a turbo, about a week ago it started making a noise, bad, so its getting rebuilt, now what i am thinking is weather or not to keep it once its fixed, mmy other options would be most likely z32 300zx, aw11 or sw20 mr2, fc3s rx7, or a gc impreza, whatever i get will be manual and turbo, even if i have to swap it, but i mainly want something fun to drive with good potential for down the road
any other ideas greatly appreciated

[rapom61363]

OK; so you've just put a good bit of cash into rebuilding the engine. Now you've got a new (or almost new) engine. How's the rest of the car? If it's in good shape and you love your baby, keep it for several years and get something back for your investment. If you tried to sell it you'd probably get less than what you're paying for the engine rebuild.

In the position to make a car payment? Good! While you're driving your rebuilt engined car, make payments to your savings of whatever you can afford for your car payment. If your old car makes it 4-5 years, then you'll have the money for a new car - already in the bank.

...if a majority of north america shopped like this, we'd all be a lot better off. Unfortunately its like 1%. Gooooo easy credit!
