OK so don't get mad or anything but i was wondering if this is a good trade or am just being stupid. i have a 88 mr2 sc with very high miles almost 200000. it still runs good and strong. should i trade it of a a turbocharged 1986 e30 bmw? the bmw is not as clean as my mr2 but it is faster and has new valvetrain and only 120000 on the bottom end with only 10000 miles on the turbo. what should i do trade or no trade....

The BMW needs wheels. Also the bmw may be faster but I can bet the MR2 is quicker, all depends on what you like driving. There is no point keeping an mr2 just to keep the mr2 if you know you want the bmw because it is better somehow go for it (space an practicality to name a coule things it has over the 2). Remember though euro cars can be a bi*%# to get parts for if they break but this car sounds like that shouldn't happend anytime soon.
