Funny you posted this as I am thinking the same myself. Things have been going pretty good for my 2002 95 Linear since I bought it new in Feb 2003. However, since in the last 2 years, I have had to spend almost C$5K on a number of things including 3 water pumps (3/2009, 2/2012 and 11/2013), alternator, DIC, misc hoses, serpentine belt, and engine mounts. I was informed today that I have a somewhat significant engine oil leak that will require that the engine be removed and the head gasket needs to be resealed. The fix for the leak will be approximately $C3,500 which will include changing the timing chains. So I am not really sure if it is worth doing it since the car is probably worth nothing. I do still enjoy driving it and it still drives great. Decisions, decisions!!!
