as big as that list is, most of it is simple work or looks like you replaced sensors too many times. Any reason for needing the MAP, IAC and TPS changed so many times, or were you trying to find a problem? Also how do you know you NEED wheel bearings?

[acke61]

i'd say keep it, after doing that much work to it you obviously know that thing inside and out, u go buy a newer car your going to have the same problems except you wont know the car as well...all cars have problems

[herb427sc]

Keep it. At least you do not have a payment book for the

next 4 to 7 years!!!!!!

i know i need wheel bearings because my front end humms, i know from when my grand prix did the same thing

[91oldscutlass]

Ok you have put this much time and money into it...at least you know what you got there...you can trade it off and get more problems.

[Euro]

yeah i would keep it cause now it should run better with all the things done to it. kinda like mine. heres my recently replaced items

 

 

6 fuel injectors(one new one replaced as well)

2 alternators

cleaned throttle body, IAC controller

cataylic converter

battery

all hoses

fluids replaced

and more, i dont have access to my service records, since im at school

[GnatGoSplat]

I would keep it, since it has all new parts, it's like an all new car!

[THe_DeTAiL3R]

My list isn't quite as extensive as that, but its up there! I'm keeping my car till I got money for something I really like, not just trade it in for something thats a little bit better. Besides, trade in value is like $500. If its got a good body and interior, keep it

[DaveFromColorado]

for $90ish you can get your bearing and replace it yourself, it's not that hard on the w-bodies.
