I would keep the sapphire,i have had both and the sapphire is a lot better drive than the 3 door sierra.
I had trouble and unwanted attention with people scratching my 3door and not being able to leave it anywhere,but the sapphire blends into the background

regards mark

wasnt your turbo new jase ?

sounds like you have a good sapph , if all you have done is a head gasket and a new turbo in 6 years , if i was gonna go 3 dr it would have to be a 500
