QuestionThis unit was bought new, Toronto area, now has 391K-KM's(241K miles), there are several areas of suface rust and I am debating if it is worth the effort to repait the rus even if I do it myself.
Top date plug coils, starter, front hubs/bearings, mass air flow sensor, alternator have been replaced. rest is original.
On the needs atention list is- 1 x ball joint, new rad.
Based on the age and gen condition what are you comments on fixing Vs forget it? (PS I hate dumoing cash into cars-prefer real estate!)
AnswerBarney,
I would keep it going for a few more years from what you have said. The engine is pretty much builletproof. And, things do tend to wear out. So, I would do the radiator and ball joints. Both can be corrected for under five hundred dollars total. Think of the cost of a new car... Once the problems equal a car payment a month then I start looking. Otherwise, keep on driving it.
