Keep fixing up my 2007 V6 (192k miles) or sell it and upgrade to an EcoBoost?
Hey everyone,
Three months ago, I traded my 2002 V6 Mustang for a 2007 V6 4.0.
When I bought it, it had coolant leaking into the engine, but I managed to get it fully repaired for only $500. Since then, it’s been running surprisingly smooth with no major issues.
However, a couple of things are popping up now:
It needs a front suspension replacement.
There’s a noticeable rattling noise on cold starts (timing chain cassette issue, maybe?).
The car currently has 192,000 miles on it.
The dilemma is that after fixing that initial engine issue myself, I’ve grown really attached to this car. But given the high mileage and the upcoming repairs, I'm torn between keeping it and putting more money into it, or selling it and upgrading to a newer EcoBoost.
What would you guys recommend doing in my situation? Appreciate any advice!
