How bad do you want to keep it?

That's probably the real question. Most of the issues you list are things you can soldier on with for quite a while so you don't have to fix it all at once. Axles run about $120 per side installed (at least around here) and a clutch will probably run around $1,000. Oil leaks are par for the course and can usually be fixed at your leisure. But keeping a car in a big city is an expensive proposition and if you have another car it doesn't make a lot of sense. A 9-5 is a very nice driving car and I suspect that even if you keep it, you'll drive your C900 less and less and pretty soon not at all. Sitting really kills cars and cause all kinds of other problems. If you lived in the 'burbs and could park the car in your garage and drive it for fun on the weekends I'd say by all means keep it. But in your situation it doesn't sound like keeping it makes a lot of sense. Should your situation change you can always buy another one.
