The reason im wanting the change is because my mother was in an collision where they destroyed her Solara. Shes been going thru some stuff as it is and now she wont be able to get another car. She likes my car but she has never been able to drive cars with MT and now at 50+ yrs its harder and specially in a Z. Im gonna shop around for a wrecked Z to see if its cheaper to buy parts or take a hit and trade it in for something else. The car is right at trade in value so everything Ive payed in will be lost, like if I leased it. I was thinking something around 3-4k in parts, am i way off?

A very noble reason, not that you owe any one here an explanation.

Wish I could help on switch out cost...way over my head talent wise, so would have no clue as to what is needed. I would lean towards trading to make it simpler and quickest...guess it would depend on actual cost to make it happen versus cash needed to get into and auto if you trade.

Good luck !

It will probably be cheaper to just buy or Lease her a car of her own. Good Luck with whatever happens.
