Default Opinions Wanted...Please Help

Alright, heres the deal, my car is about to roll over to 118k, and im thinking about getting a new one, but if i get a new one it will be one with very low miles so it will proabably still be around 20-$25000 to buy, my dilema is whether to sell my car and get a new one or not, the way i see it is the new one would be nice and i want a 6-speed, but for half of what it would cost to get me a new one i could convert mine, if i can find someone to swap, and make it just as nice, and my car was paid for so i'd have payments on the new one, so what do you guys think, keep it and invest 10K in it to make it nice again, and some go, or buy a new one?

If you have taken care of the car and it is still a sound car just do some changes or upgrades to it. You could still do that and buy a beater daily driver and still come out cheaper than getting you a new one.

I wouldn't sell it. My car has 116,700+ miles on it, and it's still a very sound car. I'd do the swap and then spend the money you'll save on more mods.

If everything is in good working order I would keep it. You know what you have. If not sell it, but you could end up with a new money pit.
