just wait till i finally buy a 4 banger fox............ and drive it for 3 years to see how it holds up. jfwy
honestly i dont know much about the 2.3's but they cant be that bad, i mean i see THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS driving around everyday, hell i see more 2.3's than 5.0's on the road......
now with crunching numbers and all i'm not going to get to in depth with that, but cheaper insurance, not horrid gas and no payments has to come out lower than what the scion costs.
as far as dependability, i would say its prolly gonna be a hit or miss deal, one might run forever with no problems, another might shit out on the first day..........
i would buy one. but my whole reasoning for that would be to v8 convert it down the road
if you wanna getter dun for real, get a 91-92 camaro with the TBI 305, thats what i had back in the day. those motors have good torque , decent gas mileage and, run forever and ever.......
but then again, your in a joe dirt camaro, a minor step up from the getter dun stang.......... i love 3rd gens and stangs............
