Default no, because it's a ~6-8 year old car. if its not keeping you in debt, keep driving it. go stage 3
to make it a new/different car.

Default Engine displacement keeps increasing... SUVs keep getting bigger.
I don't think gas prices would affect the resale of a sporty 6 cylinder...

My 96' 5.2L Grand Cherokee on the other hand...

Can you send me specs of your car?

Which generation? B5 gets relatively good gas mileage for a high performance car...
