Default I bought mine in Feb. of 2007.

with 82k miles. I am at about 111,500 today. So far, with the exception of the drivers side rear brake caliper ripping off, I have had no issues. *frantically finds any and all wood that can be knocked on*

I honestly don't see why these cars can't last well into the 300k mark. I dunno, maybe I am in for a rude awakening, but I hope not. I say keep it, at least until you can get a decent price for it, instead of the going rate, which for yours won't be too much more than 13-14k at best. Once these cars start selling for 25k +, then I would possibly, have a remote thought of selling.

Default What do you mean by "front end work"? If you mean shocks, bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.

that all should be expected at this mileage. Now's the time to upgrade if you have all stock parts.

I think you'll lose well over $500 on a trade, I'd fix it and keep it.

You're screwed, for the TT you have to knock on polished aluminum.
