Here's my situation i just graduated high school and wanted a high mpg car to travel to college everyday. I have a 99 ford zx2 with 186k miles. It is not to bad on rust for being a northern car. I love the car and even with a budget of 3k usd i feel i could not replace the car for something of equal value once the clutch gets replaced.

The question is should i go ahead and have the clutch replaced? I'm going to have a mechanic do all the work to replace it. I have not looked at prices but figuring $600-1000

Forgot to mention the car has new break lines, battery, alternator, has no check engine lights and e brake still works
