Thinking about taking a plunge

97 CS 5-speed in very nice shape, 120k, presently SAAB mechanic-owned, garaged and driven very little. It's cheap, clear title, set of snows, ready to go. No visible rust, HG done some time ago.
My purpose would be for my daily work commute, which totals 18,000 highway miles a year. Interested in 30+ mpg, fun, and and no car payment. Would be trading off a reliable and useful 2008 Scion Xb with 32k miles that doesn't ever hit 30 on the hwy and has 2 years of payments left.
I am drawn but I am hesitating. Can I responsibly put my very young kids in this car? Am I nuts to even consider replacing the set-it-and-forget-it Scion with a 14 yr old 9k?
Without the answers to these questions I am avoiding going for a test drive... because that will likely end all rational thinking.
