And The worst part is the engine in it was replaced about 90k ago due to a late oil change on regular oil, and quite a few other parts are fairly new. Thanks again for the info.
i probably wouldn't bother if the engine replacement is any indication.

the 2 main things that absolutely kill old cars are poor maintenance, and oddball parts like model-specific switches/trims.

poor maintenance will kill anything that can be replaced, and lack of a replacement of oddball parts like will doom whatever can't be replaced.
