Default RE: engine swap

yes the tune up is something I have done to my car already. The main problem is that I drive about 50 000 km a year ( maybe less ) , also I do not want a car to race, however a car that can handle all the mileage and it has decent power .. I dont race but I dont drive like a grandma lets just say that. The body is in good conditions , I lowered my car, air intake , short shifter , tinted windows.. I m not into the whole racing scene but I like my car to look good and I like driving it hard sometimes

Well I drive more than you and I would say 31,000 miles is not bad. I drive 45,000 miles or 72,000 km a year. I have taken cars to 300,000 miles and a honda with only 111,000 miles is fine to go another 3 years with the amount of miles you are putting on it. That would put you at about

93,000 miles+ your 111,000 miles= 204,000 miles

If you save about $3,000 and add about $100 dollars every month for the3 years, you will have about $7200. 100 a month x 36 months = $3600

You would get $600 for free inthree years. It does not seem like alot, but now do that for say 10 years and you would be looking at about $20,000.

$3000 + ($100 x 120 months) = ?
$3000 + $12,000 = $15,000 WOW you get another $5,000 dollars for just waiting.


This is just something else to think about.
