Default should i keep it???

THIS IS SOMETHING THATS BEEN BOTHERING ME INSANE FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS!! i drive a 92 civic si hatch with 107,000 miles on it. and it has some rust (rear quarters, and SMALL spots in other places on the bottom half of the body) that i kno is only gonna get worse with time. the conditions in indiana arnt the greatest either. and the interior is in great shape.

I wanna get some opinions on wheather i should keep it or get a never civic. i work at a honda dealer so i get cars at wholesale and have the whole service department to myself on weekends (dads the boss) but i dont want to spend that much money on FIXING the car... but i dont mind adding things.

ive always really liked 5th gen hatches too... i jus think it might be too much work.

is my car really worth all the work to keep the test of time at bay??

some of u will think im ****** stupid for posting this but i need some help!!

Thanks ahead of time.

Sounds like your currently unhappy with the car that you own, so treat yourself to a 7th/8th gen civic or honda! I'd personally rather have the s2000 than the civic si

I'm surprised my 92 has no rust. Just remember, rust is to a car, as cancer is to a human. You can remove it but you never know if it will come back

get a new car and park your hatch, slowy fix the hatch til it's the way you want it...that's the only way you're really going to get exactly what you want.
