So, this is an LPT 4, not a V6? (serpentine versus timing belt at 60k)
I still enjoy my '99 after five and a half years and at this point plan to take it to at least ten (kept my previous Saab thirteen). Because it's a V6 there's no specter of lurid engine failure looming, and if there's the possibility of DIC replacement one of these days, I can live with it (cost/year not bad at all).
If you enjoy your car and it's running well, I can't muster a reasonable argument for not keeping it. Life with a Chevy or Pontiac could be tough to swallow, especially when you can't find it in the mall parking lot, and the off-the-lot depreciation of either option makes the economics of that trade pretty grim for your wallet.
Can you purchase more warranty coverage for yours?
