For me the answer to when I stop dumping money into my '94 9k Viggen is when the yearly maintenance costs + insurance costs more than a new car (payments and insurance) would cost.
Every so often I think about getting a new car, but until I find something that has the room, ride, versatility and mileage of my 9k I'm keeping it.
This past year I dropped some money into it to breathe more life into it. I put new Koenig adjustable shocks, urethane bushings, wood dash kit, and a "Genuine Saab" Stage 3 kit into it. It now has 274 HP, rides great (hence the "Viggen" Not an Aero but next best thing)and I get 30 MPH hwy. Not bad for a 13 year old car.
Next up is stiffer springs and super aero wheels (once the current tires need to be replaced)
