Default Need Help!!!! Question!!!!

Hi.. I gotta '96TI with 139,000 miles... It's a beautiful car, red, automatic, it's got some kinda kit on it, cuz it looks better than most the TI's i see pictures of... I always loved the car cuz it's just beautiful and I always got really good reception from it... I always figured I'd sell it and eventually get a newer TI that was standard.. But last week, my neighbor brought home a WHITE TI... that's a '95 and has like 6,000 less miles AND ITS STANDARD... The interior doesnt have that half leather/half vinyl(or whatever material that is) and it also doesnt have the sun-roof.. My question is... Although my RED T.I. is a year newer and A LOT better lookin (like the average person will say NOT to trade, cuz the red one is gorgeous) but the guy wants to trade me.... What do you guys think? I really want a standard, but I think that my version of the T.I. is better because it looks a lot more sharp, but the White one is nice lookin- it jus doesnt look as low to the ground n doesn't have that kit on it.... I don't know.. Please give me some info or any ideas or suggestions of what I should do... Do the 6,000 less miles and the fact that it's standard and the fact that it's less noticable to the cops outweigh the better looks of the red one??? please any in-put would b helpful

THANK YOU

Get a newer red one that's standard. Don't take the easy way out and trade. You'll be lookin over the fence forever at your baby.

newer models are always better remember also that the 1995 has 100cc less than the 1996 so smaller engine , no sunroof you better stick with yours besides 6k miles is not a big difference and you have more money invested in yours. Good luck

buy the standard conversion kit and keep yours.
you already know the car. although obd1 (1995) is tunable.
or do what I did. drop a 3.2L m3 engine in it and have REAL: fun!

haha thanx for the input guys... I didn't think i was gonna do it, mine is way better looking, but I want standard!!! How much is that conversion to standard thing? n is it worth it to do it? or should I just try and and sell mine, and get the newer one in standard? Where I'm from, I honestly think I can get WAY MORE than what i paid for it... a lot of people think it's a $10,000 car... so hopefully i can get someone to bite on 8,000$ lol... thanx for the input tho guys....
