Default 94 eclipse trade for a 89 pontiac transam gta

so this guy wants to trade my running eclipse for his transam. now my car has working a/c which his doesnt working heat. which i dont know if it works. good brakes which his arnt. my cd player and my 17's the only thing his car has going for him it runs strong. which mine does to the transam is kinda beat up though so my question is is it worth tradeing my eclipse for or not?? both cars are all stock cept the transam has a power jet carb instead of a throttle body.

GTA are cool cars, but that one doesnt sound worth it.

probably doesnt get the gas mileage you do now either,if it hits 4 bucks a gallon you might be sorry you did this trade.

Unless you know how to fix cars (there seems to be a lot of small things wrong with the car) then I would say pass on the trade.

200k on a 80's model v-8 aint nothing bro .My engine has rolled over three times with no rebuild and it still runs strong .

That being said i wouldnt do the trade ,sounds like not much of a fare trade unless he put's some money on top of that .
