I had the same car and ran it until 180k then sold it. I'd dump the money into it, it sounds like you have taken very good care of it. I felt like that engine was never going to die.
I found I was burning about the same amount of oil, except I was burning it I had a bad oil pan gasket. It was very easy to change. |

$2K is a lot cheaper than car payments for the next 4 to 6 years
You ever change the transmission fluid? |

well you could either get someone else's problems or you can get a gem
really luck of the draw I mean if you junk it you forget the headache but at the same time like i said what if you buy someone else's problem for 5 grand? Then you will be kicking yourself for letting it go. tough situation imo unless you are gonna buy a new car |

Smart answer? A solid NO. WHy? because that is a $2000 car tops.
Take that $2000 and the $500 for the stratus, throw in another grand or two and buy 70-120k miles 10 year old car |

here is my thoughts on the subject:
don't ever put more money into a car than it's worth. insurance companies won't do it so why should you? this is how they come up with number that will "total" a vehicle here is what any bank/insurance agency will use to value the car nada to me, it's totaled and would take a lot of miles to get your money back from a trans replacement. and if it gets t-boned the day after replacing the trans, you be lucky to break even. |

If you can find a $500 salvage trans and do a DIY install I'd say keep the car.....

I'd slap a new tranny in it and see how much more mileage you can squeeze out of it. Beats the hell out of car payments OR buy a cheap car with a big unknown attached to it.
