leave your stock suede seats in and get something more practical.

you are just going further and further into a car that you don't even want to keep for more than a year

every 2 months i re-conclude that i should have bought something else
but then realize i will never get my $ back
and so i just go ahead and buy another aftermarket part

rinse and reapply

you could have your car parted in 2-3 days. a lot of work, yes but surprisingly the market for used perf. parts is really good.

with the money you get from parting (figure about 8G, once i made 11G by parting) use that towards a downpayment and you'll have a car 3x as nice for the SAME monthly payment as your crapica :D

ya but it sucks i paid $33K for the celica new (with taxes)
3 yrs old in july, extremely low mileage..
just for fun i went to the dealer LAST spring
12,000km .. 1.75 yrs old - offered like $17,000+tax

so let's say best case scenario i sell the car for 20K, parts 10K
$30K downpayment is mediocre considering i lost 20K for 16,000km of driving

you drove 16K in 2 yrs?

meh, might as well park it in your living room. i could NEVER justify spending that much on a car that i don't even drive.

or why just just call it quits with modding and enjoy the car as is for 2 more yrs.

the money you'll save by not modding anymore can be saved towards ur next car
