AU2 - is this a good deal or not?

[b2tf]

As anyone who has bothered to read my posts both on here and former FF would know, i am pretty well itching to get out of my EFII Futura for good, and it will be happening very soon - July in fact.

My parents have an AUII Fairmont, I6 with the 17" Tickfords. Dad has fussed over this car since the day he bought it and for that reason i know it is immaculate, bar a few small paint chips which are bound to happen when you live in a country area, and every 2nd road is being worked on.

He has offered to take my EF, and trade it for his new Territory which he'll be buying in July (once he gets his retirement payout). Once this is done, I will be given the AU (at a reduced price with no time limit to pay it off).

Now while thats a bloody good deal, and i appreciate my parents helping me out with cars etc, the AU has close to 85,000 on it already, by July i reckon it'll be pushing 90. So, is it worth keeping and doing up? My only plans for it would be to Ghia-ise the interior a bit, and the faactory bodykit, exhaust etc and thats about it. Wont be a weapon, but a nice car all the less.

I will do either one of two things:-

* Keep the AU and do it up
* Use the AU as a trade on another vehicle

So, which one would you do, and why?

BTW: Im not a spoilt kid, i am paying off the AU regardless of whether i keep it or not. I just thought i should add that in to save people feeling the need to mention it in their posts. out:
