    I got a 99 gt with 116k on it. What should I invest in modding the car with this miles?

    I saw some cars changed to glow gauges is it difficult to change?

    I'd suggest replacing the LIM gaskets with the aluminum ones, ensuring all the vacuum lines are fresh and not leaking, a full tune up and fluid check etc is done. From there, drive and smile.

    116k? Shes barely broken in. Invest a little into it for maintenance, and you have a car that will still be on the road in 2020.

    he fixed the intake replaced that and thermostat and charged me 460 after the 150 for the starter, and when i took the car out of the shop i couldn't turn left :/ and there was a new problem. power steering fluid leak on the road. i never had that before but the guy said he just filed it up. so i left the car there and now need to pay 250 extra.

    i thought ill fix it and sell it before ill hve an other thing. even that the car still runs good and smooth and looks like new.

    so since i paid so much for the extra stuff on my car ,i bought a 1999 gp with 116k for 2600$( i hope its a good deal.) so i can transfer the hitch and speakers and dvd and bla bla to it.
    now it looks exactly like yours same color.
