I'm the (formerly) proud first owner of a white stock 2001 Cobra with leather interior and a new black convertible top. I inadvertently allowed it to run out of oil. (No leakage or smoke was visible, but that's a post for a later date.) I'm not mechanically inclined (DUH!) and need input on what to do now. I've babied it (until this), and I had hoped to let my 10 month old son have it one day, but I could use a truck for hauling building materials for my 110 year old money pit, I mean, house.
Should I sell it for scrap?
Have the motor replaced with a new, remanufactured, or used engine?
I have no idea how a replacement engine would affect resale value.
Would it be worth keeping for my son?
When/if I get it up and running, should I drive it a few more years while saving money for a truck, or sell it immediately and finance the remaining cost of a truck?
Any and all input would be appreciated!!!
