Default Should I Sell Trade In or Fix

Over the year and a half ive grown very tired of fixing this car im continuisly on the hunt for fixing new problems.
Right now it is having a mise fire in 1,2, and 4 i changed spark plugs a step colder and did my fuel filter.
Im close to giving up and trading it in on a newer sti im just not sure what to do anymore. Input is needed im just friggen tired of it.

i dont think you will get enough money for your car to constitute a trade-in. you would be taking a massive loss

I'm not real familiar with your mods but from your sig is looks like a nice setup. You will definately get 'hosed' on a trade in for a new STi (or any car for that matter), I would hound your tuner and find out why your having all these misfires. Changing plugs on Suby's is certainly a pita so I feel your pain. Hang in there man and bang on your tuner.

Nah, just get a new STi. It's probally the worst financial decision, but money can't buy happiness, right plus think of the time you will save not doing any maintenance and unless you start messing with it you'll retain a warranty if something does come up. You will get hosed on a trade in of course. Maybee you could sell parts go back to stock, then trade? I have a 08STi and recomend it. I drive about 60 miles round trip to work and back and it uses almost 1/4 tank, so i hope MPG isn't a big concern says average 21.6... "1,090 miles or so on the odo." Maybee if i always left in in I-Drive it would be better

22mpg is pretty damn good lol

if im on my way to sebring just cruising backroads at like 60, i get 60 miles before i even hit the full mark, then another 60 before 3/4... so 120miles on 1/4 tank. if im driving the car around the city i get 30 before full and 30 before 3/4 lol.... terrible city mileage, must be around like 12mpg
