2000 Gt, 60k mi, a beautiful car, but no extended warranty. Just got word the front end is coming apart with a no. 2 head busted. Do I rebuild? Replace with a new 3yr warranty engine, used engine, or trade the **** in and shop around?
If that is your situation I trade in your 00' GT with problems in for a 06' Subaru WRX or STI because your 00' GT is a good down payment and Subaru's are more dependable than Fords. Don't feel bad because I have been having problems with 96 GT since the day I bought it.I never had one problem with 04 WRX ever other than regular maintenance and oil changes. Good luck.
what do you mean a no. 2 head busted? If you mean your head is junk, and just the head, you can replace that head for $350, and it comes with a new cam and valvetrain. replacing one head is definitely cheaper than getting a new car. Kinda hard to compare a 96 to an 04 though, obviously the 04 would be much more reliable due to it being new.
Oh please, a mustang is just as reliable than a WRX of the same year. Youre comparing your cars reliability which are 8 years apart in age and who knows how many miles, owners, abuse, etc.
My friend bought a 2005 STI and the engine went to **** in 8,000 miles, normal driving, occasional redline.
You can get your car repaired for less than $2k. You would probably take the same loss selling a car with a busted motor, so now is the time to decide if you really want a new car, or if you want to start modifying the stang. off topic: Every day that goes by Pennywise2 moves a step up on the troll ladder.

I havent had ANY problems with my 01 bullett. And i beat on my car hard. Never been stranded anywhere, never had anything break. (except when i did doughnuts into that curb, that sorta sucked) Only oil changes, brake pads, and bolt ons.
exactly, always make these things into an oppurtunity to upgrade and you'll smile when it breaks lol.
you can buy a nice aluminum replacement 2v(out of an explorer) or go 4v aviator motor or go cheap and throw a stock 2v back in.
Don't slander me because my cousins' STI would demolish your old Viper. Also people just because someone has a different opnion on things doesn't mean you have to slam them. Start having respect for people.
