Got a 2006 v8 sport with 91k miles

Hi guys,
I've posted here before. Kept good care of my baby thanks to you all.

My frame is starting to really go to shit. I'm considering replacing the frame entirely with a new frame, and investing another 5k beyond the frame swap into it if needed. Which means about 15k total.

Considering the price of newer vehicles. Do you think it's worth it?

10k would buy a pretty decent rust free 4th gen in the SE. Then you could swap the engine/drivetrain/interior, keep it for back up, or part it out if you find a decent replacement runner. A well cared for low mileage V8 and transmission part out cou,d draw 3-5k bucks in the right market.
Have you sourced a frame? Wondering how many are up there in the NE.
There is a guy in AZ who specializes in parting 4th gens out. He's already delivered a couple frames to the Midwest.
There are options, but there is so much research involved, your eyes will bleed. Its one of the draw backs, unless you're a gear head and like doing it. Good Luck!

Those prices seem very low considering the price of new cars currently.
