Default this is a hard decision to make

idk what to do. i want a DA9 really bad but my DA3 is nowhere near sellable condition. the paint is half ***, there is rust all around, there is no interior and i unwired the rear speakers and rear aux lighting all the way back to under the dashboard. the motor is starting to give me trouble which i can fix that i love fixing my motor. but would it really be worth the time and effort to fix up the DA3 for resale? cause even if i did i probably couldn't get anywhere over 1k. what do you guys think i should do with it? i've got a few opions i like. A) restore what can, sell then buy DA9, B) fix small things, then sell looking half ***, C) fix up the DA3 a bit, until i just save enough money to get a DA9 then sell the DA3 after i get a DA9

get the da9 and use your da3 as a daily driver. or sell it to me for 100 bucks.

hmm, sounds like a good idea. except for the selling for 100 bucks part lol. but i know if i keep the DA3 for long i'll end up dumping money into it that i should actually be putting torwards a DA9....

it's your money....thus your decision

i think you should use the 1st gen as a beater and the 2nd gen as the project

Should keep the first as your daily so you can take the second down for X amount of time when you want to and swap a b20/b18c hybrid in it, without worrying about getting to the store for milk and back.

Once the second is a reliable car after your engine work is done, track the first gen - have fun with it if it wont last that long..

I'd say just sell it as a shell, and put the money into the new car. No sense investing into a car unless you will get a return on your investment
