Start up a part-out thread in the 4th gen section. You'll get a lot of vultures in there. Glad to know you're ok.

Pff that looks like an easy fix... the damn gap between the door and the fender is still friggin straight lol... looks like all it needs is a core support, hood, and a couple things here and there such as a radiator

What Colombian said. Other than the airbags, everything else looks like a pretty easy fix.
Hood, windshield, upper radiator support, headlights, and maybe have to go with a CAI because your intake system shredded.

How many miles?

What would you guys do?

I recently posted a couple posts in the 7th Gen forum and had great feedback so Im going to try you guys...

Recently my wife and I had a baby and it seem like my 1997 Max is not safe anymore. Apparently its been in a head on accident(that I didnt know about), Its had its airbags stolen, caught fire, multiple oil lines repaired and basic upkeep. Its only got a 130K miles on it.


My question is when is a good time to say goodbye and hello to the 09?

I know alot of bad things have happend to my car, but I cant seem to pull myself away from it. Help me out fellas....

When you have the cash in hand... slowly fix the 97afterward and keep it as a winter beater

when you can afford it without worring about the next payment. best if paid with cash in full.
