work is done? Can you replace the vehicle for the cost of repair. Certainly a new Honda will be more reliable, but it sounds like you replaced most of the wear items already. Before scrapping the car, check the compression in the block. If your compression is good still, then you likely will need a new head gasket. After brakes, exhaust, suspension engine, the only thing left is transmission.
It is your call if you want to dump the car, but I have found that it is cheaper to keep mine going even as a winter car than to dump it. If the body of the car was going to pot, I would say time to dump.
The problem with dumping it is you buy another used car that needs all this work you just did to your saab, or buy a new car. I have owned my Saab for 9 years and still haven't crossed the 17K mark in cost (including purchase price). Used cars will always be used and need repairs.
