I've dropped about $2k in maintenance in parts for my 13 year old, 215k car in the last month. Driveshaft, shocks/struts, two fuel injectors, cleaned the leaves out of the blower motor, and a UOA.
To replace the car for a newer version of the same thing would run at least $30k. So why bother? As long as my e90 is sound - and it seems to be - it makes sense to keep it going and not let it decline. Next project: replace the sandblasted and cracked front bumper and refinish the headlights!
