My vote's for keeping it. You got a nice, low mile, great color C4 that HOPEFULLY (knocking on my head) will not be giving you any more problems!! Think positive :banghead:

Better keep it. I'm not sure you can afford to sell it! Kidding aside, nice looking car, hope things work out now.

Sounds like most of the work is done. Keep it and enjoy it.
I paid over $20k for a 93 with 25k miles and am having to fix the same things.

I would keep it :thumbs:
I paid $12,000 canadian for my 86 with over 100,000 miles on it. Iv'e put another $1000 in parts into it, and never,ever did it cross my mind to sell it.
Before I bought it I was considering buying a new car, but for $20,000 canadian all I would have is a small tin car with a gutless motor and no resale value years down the road. It's part of me now and I enjoy working on it to make it better everyday.
Buy a Helms manual and fix things yourself.
I don't pay anyone to do anything for me. I figure I can do anything as long as I have the knowledge.
:cheers:
Oh, by the way.... Nice freakin car and nice freakin color :hurray:

Thats good news! Because I was going to give you 3 alternatives:

1. don't sell it
2. don't even think about selling it
3. you love it, so go back to 1.

:D :cheers:
