I went to open the drivers door on my Camry yesterday and the plastic door handle broke. I guess due to the cold and age. I am afraid that this could be the start of lots of breakage. The car is 15 years old and has 203,000 miles on it. It has been a great car and its never let me down but its getting old and wearing out. SO.. my options are:
1. Spend $7,000 to $10,000 to build this car up the way i want. Engine rebuild with turbo, new paint, coilovers, new suspension bushings, wheels, tires, exhaust, and fixing all the little plastic stuff that will keep breaking over the years.
2. Spend $10,000 to $12,000 on a '02- '03 Subaru WRX with half as many miles as my car, good paint, no repairs necessary, all wheel drive and a huge aftermarket for performance mods.
What do you all think? Is building my Camry a waste when i could get a WRX for almost the same amount of money? Or is the sleeper and unique aspect of the Camry worth the work?
Thanks for any thoughts!
Heres my Camry @ the autocross last summer...
