Your delima is starting to look like an Anne Landers column and normally I would not respond but the CSE is a great machine and unless you want to spend a ton more than a couple grand your won't find anything with anywhere near the features, fun to drive and with the safety record. We still have an 86T, one of the first, that has over 300000miles. Both the inside and out are still in great shape. People do not belive the age. It does not burn oil, still goes like a shot, will hit 100mph very quickly any day of the week, if the cops are not in sight, and has no major problems. Routine maintenance and repairs, including brakes and tires normally hits $1000.00 a yr. Not sure if that is good or bad but I don't see being able to replace it with anything new comparable for what it cost to keep going. So, I would look for a better deal on the engine and keep the car till it dies. Alex
