If you hate it, get rid of it. If you like it, fix it and keep it.
These items and this amount for a repair are not unusual in a car of this mileage. Cumulatively they would add about 1.5 cents per mile to your cost of ownership. Unless you anticipate vast amounts of other repairs, this is a pittance. My rule of thumb is 10 cents per mile for extending the life of an old car. I'll sink $1000.00 if I think it'll get me another 10,000 miles...as long as I don't hate the car. So, do you think it has 23,000 left in it?
