Unless you have a)serious sentimental feelings to which $5000 should go towards rather that something else in life, or b)can do the work yourself, it is non-sensical to spend $4700 (that's only the estimate...) on a 17 yr old, 250k mi car of no objective market value. There, I said it. It's sad, yes. I spent that much on my '85 at 160k and can barely justify it while doing much piddly work myself - you are nearly 100k mi *past* that. What does the interior "quality of living and driving look like in the car?" Five years from now? Odds are a newer car is much more practical mechanically, and comfortable (ride quality and passing power and safety and seats and interior and unexpected 7 expensive C900 repairs and and and...) We're here for moral support 24/7 :o) Sell her to a good (mechanic's) home.
