here is my major dilema, i found a pretty cherry 1984 red vette, body and interior wise it is almost flawless with just a couple chips here and there and just a couple dull spots, it comes with a painted top along with a glass top, it has 108,000 miles on it and from the looks of it has been maintained meticulously, also has a new alternator and battery, tires and shocks, the ac works as well as all the electronics.... the asking price is $4800.00... i think thats a decent price, (the guy who owns it has sold his house an is taking it on the road with his motor home and his vw beetle) the car is registered and is used as a fair weather daily driver and has been garaged for every winter for at least the last 10 years..
now my real problem, i love my 82, i love the c3 body, but my car has more than its share of little problems, signal lights work when they want, interior lights act kinda stupid off and on and worst off it really needs paint, and thats gonna cost me more than the 84 would (cheapest quote so far was $6000.00) ......and there is just no way i can keep both right now as much as i want to and pouted and stomped my feet around trying to convince my wife otherwise.......
so it might sound easy, like my minds made up, but i love my car, but i cant help but think i can get a car that has probably been a little better taken car of than mine, with a little higher mileage sure (mine is in the low 70's) i just dont know, i need to make a decision quick, so i need some opinions on what i should do
