No because you are wrong here my car holds it's value at 16yrs old its worth $4500 US in the blue book, and $5500 in the Canadian Black Book(think thats what it's called). Now seeing as i bought the car for $4000 i think i did pretty damn good.
As for breaking down LOL HAHAHAHAH ROFL LMFAO.......NO and here's why that car was owned by an old couple prior to me they changed the oil every 5000 km and never drove it hard in 16 yrs they only put 175000km on that car. Since i've had it i change the oil just as regularly and when i last had the block inspected they said it looked new not to mention the fact that anyone can tell you Toyota engine will run till they hit around 600000km a poitn at which all your cars wil be either a) sold, b) in some wreck, c) being used as parts, d) got boring so you bought a diff car.

We're not telling you this because we don't like your car, we are simply trying to help you. Your car is eventually going to break down to the point that it is useless(all cars do)...and being an older car, yours is likely to break down sooner than a newer car. All we're saying is that when it does happen, you will really be kicking yourself for dumping $11,000 into it when you could have just bought a newer, more reliable car. For all I care, you can dump $100,000 into your car. We are only trying to help. As for the suggestions on mods...they are just that...suggestions. Feel free to do whatever you want. If you don't want our opinions, then why did you even join the site?
Oh, and for the record, I have never used or recommended pioneer products.

Because your opinions only seem to favor new popular cars nothing unique or unheard of. As for reliable yeah dountful there Troy my car will be going long after you bend the rims and bottom out that car of yours, i've said it before i'll say it again don't insult a mans car i don't car who you are it just ain't cool.

Sorry, I didn't make my point clear... I meant '89 cars that aren't worth anyway to start with (like Camry's) shouldn't have $11g's put into them.
mustangs, corvettes, supras, rx7s are a different situation.

Why is my car not worth it Gunn? Because you said so? That's a pretty dumb reason. Now this is the last time im gonna say it I like what i like and you like what you like i don't rightly care if you like my car or not but don't say it's not worth the time or money to mod. If you ask me i would say Probes are a POS car made by a POS company but i never tell you your car isn't worth it because you know why? You like your car and you are happy with it and that's cool man, power to you just don't dump on others peoples rides is all i'm saying and that goes out to alot of peeps on here, you know who you are cause you have done nothing but dump on my car since day one and i haven't said anythign about your cars. Now lets move on to the next useless piece of crud in this thread shall we?
