I never think about it that way, only think what it's worth to you.

Besides, you know the car and what parts have been replaced so far, and when. Compared to finding another car, which probably has other issues that will have to be fixed relatively early on. Who knows? I admit I might not be the right dude to give advice on this. As I have kept my cars that have broken down, with the idea of repairing them when I have opportunity. Or if I can't fix them properly, I will get some needed experience in car repairs

Thanks guys!
Given that I do 100 miles a day and I've already replaced it as a workhorse, I don't think there's a viable option other than to scrap it after 5 years of loyal service!

Do you have the space to strip it for parts? Got to be worth more than scrap
