Upper control arm bushing is shot

This is my first post.
I drive about 2,000 miles a year on a 1983 Saab Turbo.
It has about 135K miles on it.
(I work at home and don't get out much)
When I bought a new set of tires recently, the tire dealer said he could not give me the free alignment because the right upper control arm bushing was shot and the car couldn't be aligned.
Costs quoted to me recently for the repair were from $500 to $700. - more than I want to spend on this (rusty and leaky (oil))old beauty.
The car tracks well and I have not noticed any weird tire wear.
What are the dangers of driving this like it is?
Is there a 'desert" repair or work around that could repair the issue without the $500.00 to $700.00 tab?
Thanks for your help.
Ed
