If your going to have money problems, why order the swaybars? Save the cash.
Project, why buy a new car if your having money problems. When you forsee a new transmission, new tires, timing chain, wheelbearings (press fit in), a/c pump, and a few other piddly things. You start to think....
2500 in next few months for same thing that I have been driving, and would have problems getting money to fix, or ditch now, and make monthly payments on something newer with warranty.

If you had an 8 cylinder you might get 5. I think your looking at 3 or 3.5 at the most.
Keep the car, forget the new car. New cars need repairs and warranties aren't all they are cracked up to be. Then add the increased insurance and such.

If he didn't need the money right away, i'd say keep it. Purchasing a new car, you have loan payments, higher insurance, new mods :P
I'm thinking he may need to sell it now because he's found himself in a position where he needs the money now, and can do without a car for a bit.
If you just need money now, ask your bank for just a small personal loan. I'd rather you do that than sell your car that you customized to your own personal likings

Basically I could use the mony now, and i kinda have what is being reffered to as a fleet lol. I have the Camaro, a jeep cherokee i drive everyday, a 70 nova ive been restoring, and a monte ss aerocoupe in need of work. somethings gotta go. The jeep is deifnitly going as its just a winter beater(got it for practically nothing), but oculd be kept around if i sell lthe camaro The Nova I've got way too much blood sweat and tears into already to get rid of, So that leaves the Camaro since the monte is kinda a joint ownership between my father and I.
Yes i know it sounds confusing, Note to self: dont start on other projects until one is totally complete.
To get a new car somethings gotta go. Even though the camaros my first car n ive had her for 6 years its the only eligible canidate unlees i pull off a financial miricle. (Atlantic City here i come LOL)
As to the sway bar i know at least one endlink is broke and the other ones about to so i was oging to fix that.
A new car with a warrenty is somehting with less upkeep, somthing different, and all n all something faster. If i could keep the camaro around n pull off a 350 swap i would but I dunno. Everyhting is up in the air right now. Thanks for the help though guys i appreciate it.

now see, that makes moore sense. Keep teh Aerocoupe, very rare. See if you can find teh Grand Prix Aerocoupe, even rarer, as less were built. I don't really like the looks, but that's just me

Do Whatever ya can to always be, financially, in the Black, not Red (debt).
In reality,
Sell the Jeep cause it ain't gonna bring any true resale nor ascend in value. And while it still moves under own power, too.
The Monte sure will (Lame drivetrain but great platform (RWD)
The Camaro sure will increase in value
The 1970 Nova, will hold it's value, also.
BUT what about daily driving?
Get a motorcycle!
I can't stand having to buy a new car. All mine bought paid for and yeah too many but they keep ascending in value.
I end up renting new cars when I need more reliable transportation for a long trip.
$20,000 for a car and ya buy a "low end" model?
From one that recalls when my Dad brought home a NEW 1970 FORD LTD COUNTRY SQUIRE WAGON, loaded and was told it cost a little over $5,000 and was one of the most expensive cars on the lot.
I also know back there & "parking space (unless ya own a house)" is a premimum.
I got 5 cars in driveway now! One car in garage & 3 cycles scattered around me, 2 intact!
