Default Worth it?

Do you guys think it would be worth it to get wheels and do suspension work on my 98 2.8QM? I mean i'd love to, but idk if its worth it on a car that has 110,000miles on it. I take care of the car real well, so how long do you think it will last me?

How much to you plan on paying for the wheels and suspension? Figure out how much it will cost, then think about how much longer you will have the car, then think about how much someone else would be willing to pay extra for these things if you had to sell it. This is called problem solving... The problem being that you dont know if its worth it... Problem solved.

example.. If you spend $3k on wheels and suspension, and have the car for 2 more years, you will essentialy be spending $125/month on them. You should probabaly think about it as if the next buyer wont want to pay extra for those extra things.. Unless they are spinners.

I would deff do it. It will completely change the look of your car. And headshock is right, there is a pretty good market for that stuff, so selling the stuff will be no problem.
