Subject:      another van or rebuilding the engine?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

hi all,

my daughter's '88 Carat engine is on its last leg.. the van has 285K miles
and the engine about 150K miles... exterior is very so so, the interior is
very so so too (let's say a 4 on 10 point scale)

a friend recently got a '90 Carat - 130K miles for $11K...

so I wonder should I rebuild the engine?.. or sell it and get another van
for her?

please give me your opinions... thanks

dan
