Good timing as I'm in a quandary with my Classic...hold onto it to someday fix 5th gear or sell it...??<br>
5th gear popout has made it a pain to drive too often, it's hard to drive everywhere in 4th gear with today's gas prices...and I don't have the extra money (or the time and space to do it myself) right now to rebuild the tranny.<br>
It's a '93 with 121K on the clock that I bought new with 29 miles on it. The roof paint is mostly gone, some paint loss on the right rear shoulder and a little bit on the hood/bumpers but it still looks good. It runs great except for the popout issue, she
still pulls hard, A/C works pretty well, nice stereo, drivers seat is pretty worn but the rest of the interior has held up well. I did some small mods years ago (back in the days when we got list digests 5 times a day)...including intake, ss brake lines,
strut tower bars front & back, it has relatively new BFG G Force Sport tires on B14 5-spoke rims.<br>
<br>
I still love it and always enjoy driving it - I call it my therapy chamber. I just don't know if I'm being stupid to hold onto it when I can't fix it anytime soon...should I sell it? And if so, what's a fair asking price for a car in good condition except
for 5th gear popout? I just don't know...I'm afraid to get rid of it after watching my buddy sell his S14 and then regret it horribly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
