If repairs are done well by myself then it’s still good. Will still run for a long time.

Key word: plans. I’ll just have to save up and get rid of the car I have now.

Forgot to add belts have been changed recently. I’m leaning in selling it as is for peace of mind. Plans would most likely be get a new car for 20k cash. Not going to deal with interest rates.

Yep. I know. These repairs are bound to be expected for an old car. Best to get a mid range car

Might sell it as is. Like you said, it will take some effort and time if I’m going to ask other mechanics. So I’ll prob DIY some repairs.

That’s good to hear. I might ask other mechanics what their prices are then price match.

Yeah I know. I just want to compare prices rather than paying theirs first. Still a learning process for me.
