I think you could "what if" yourself to death when driving old cars. Sure you are going to have those experiences where it leaves you stranded on a cold night, but that is the risk vs reward of not having a car payment.
A month or so ago, someone came up with a pretty good list of items that could leave one stranded, but I think a used DI cassette is pretty good insurance and replace the other stuff as it breaks. Who knows, you could replace a part on the car with a failure-prone new part (slave cylinder comes to mind).
Drive it and fix it when it breaks.
