ok, So I may possibly trade my 96 ex coupe for an 88 mr2 (aw11 hardtop/4age motor)

It's my neighbor's and he has a kid on the way and needs the back seat. His car is super fun to drive and really really clean. It's been immaculately maintained (he's an ASE certified mechanic and also a good friend who's taught me a lot). Even though it has 213xxx, it's really fast and you wouldn't know it unless I told you (or you saw the odometer). Of course, it's 5spd and needs absolutely NOTHING. My civic, on the other hand, needs more love and money than i'm willing to put into it at the moment (I'm a broke college student with a next to nothing income lol). The things I'm debating are: How bad do I want a sunroof/all power options and how bad I NEED a back seat. Mind you, I still have my sentra (4 door). Sometimes, having a 2 seater can be inconvenient. I'd hate to see his aw11 go to someone else, yet i'm debating the above issues. Any opinions are greatly appreciated....

Thanx

I would not trade. The em1 is worth more.

I would go with the more reliable car being in college. After college you can buy a real car of choice once you get a job.

i always like the mr2's. i'd probably do it if i were in your shoes, but i'd make sure he'd be willing to help you work on the car should it need anything
