Here's the questions you need to answer yourself:

Is the Camry paid off? (I would hope so)
Point: The GP wouldn't be..(or "would be" but you'd be out the cash, upfront.)

You said it yourself: It would need "a little" work, the question is: do you know WHAT?
Point: You KNOW your car, and EXACTLY what's gone out, going out, new, replaced, etc..

Is there anything wrong with your current car?
Point: $2350 can go a LONG way to repair pretty much anything that "could" go wrong with your car...

Do you have a need to change cars, due to lifestyle, family, etc?
Point: The things a 4-door family hauler... uhm.... wait.. don't you already have one of those?



My call.. I wouldn't do it.. I would rest assured with the knowledge I have in mine, and drive it until the wheels fall off... Then, if/when that time comes, get a car that you can have a warranty, and a little piece of mind on...

Paraphrase: Why trade in a used, high-mileage car for a used high-mileage car, when you gain nothing but "model year numbers".. which mean nothing, if your current car runs strong..

well, the mystique is junk. it cant be driven on the road due to it having salvage title. i dont think its ever going to see the road again. its just not worth it to fix it.

as for my camry. it needs a new rear main seal. its going to cost an arm and leg to get it fixed. most of the cost is going to be in labor. it also needs new tires, door handles, and a timing belt.

i just want something that looks good and gets better gas mileage than my bronco.

i plan on buying a new car next year sometime (probably another toyota ). this is just something to get me around until then. something a little speedier than the camry and less of gas hog than my bronco.

i would have the grand prix checked out by a mechanic no doubt.

heres how i see it. if the car doesnt need much, and runs good, i'll get it.
