    Ok during the winter look on www.car-part.com find you an Explorer 4.6, then a GT harness, and a tranny of your choice auto or manual. Put in and boom you got a V8. Be gentle on it for a while then get you an 8.8 to put in there. Then your car is paid for it will run good and best of all your only paying insurance on a V6. Tell me where this is a bad idea.

    I say you should hold off until you can afford something else. If you don't have more money to put into a car, do you really think buying a car that's going to consume more gas, possibly carry higher insurance costs, generally involve a little more maintenance, etc.

    thing is, is that i dont have that type of money.

    there is absolutely nothing wrong with this car. i just hate having a v6. plus my ex, the one who tried to have me mudered, helped me get this car. so theres alot of bad memories. so im going to do what i can to get a gt. i looked on KBB and the private sale price is about 4500.
