Decision time -- repair or recycle? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Typical it seems, my wife was backing and turning out of a parking space. Both pivot points broken loose, wheels turned in two directions, considerable amount of oil (maybe PS fluid?) pooled underneith, in line with the rear of the front tires. This car needs a lot of attention and TLC; old serious rear oil seal leak, ever growing power steering fluid leak, harmonic balancer recently started squeeling on cold mornings, timing chain noise (told needed replaced), either injectors or the AMM needs to be replaced, headliner out (already broken in two pieces) but not recovered, weak A/C, etc. She really likes the car, second Saab, but the checkbook isn't ready to buy new.
Is this car worth the repair bill are we facing to get the car on the road?
Thank You all for your thoughts!
Later......... Don B.
