I bought my 1995 SE 3 years ago for $8k. Since then,I have replaced the exhaust, all control arms, all engine mounts, upgraded to the hydraulic clutch, R&R'd the fan speed controller, new clutch, idler pulleys, sunroof, installed after market rollbars, front springs, and shocks (all in one mammoth session I might add!). I figure the car new was $35k, and I put in $5k of parts, so I still got a deal. I expect to keep the car 10 years (just waiting for my leather seat cover replacements!). My dad was an aircraft mechanic all his life, and a good maintenance schedule keeps many aircraft flying for over 20 years. I intend to do the same with my car. I have the philosophy that fixing the car is still cheaper than new.
