Is this trade worth it?

well thought this would be a place to pose this question to everyone, well my buddy wants to take my 88 formula off my hands and well he's offering me to different deals for it, 1 is a seat of 02 ebony leather trans am seats both of which are powered and i can keep the leather 97-02 camaro seats that are in the formula now, or the 2nd deal is i get the trans am seats and a magnaflow exhaust system for my iroc that he has and he would polish it all up for me while were at work. heres the thing thou about my firebird, it runs pretty rough because its worn down the cam, 2nd the trannys acting up, also the front passenger tire is flat so its sittin on a doughnut and one stud broke off when i took that tire off originally. lastly heres probably the biggest down fall of the car is its been sitting behind my dads shop for almost a year within the last month or two the front windshield has been cracked and the driver side window has been busted out. and to let you know he knows about all the problems so im not screwing him over and the only reason i have the car still is that i makes my insurance cheaping due to multi-car discount

Re: Is this trade worth it?

the broken off wheel stud is easily replaced by buying a new rotor, the studs are attached to the rotor, and if its a tpi formula 350 its worth some money, and is he planning to restore the car or use it for parts, and if you keep it are you going to fix it or let it rot

You can also replace the broken stud, that involves removing the rotor. If you replace the rotor, you may need new bearings, new seal.
