Or I could just keep driving it until it no longer moves at all without doing any repairs. I just don't like having to reset the ECU and add a quart of oil every time I go to drive it.

But on the other hand, what can $4,000 (or $6,000 or $8,000) buy instead? (Maybe that manual minivan I've always wanted.)

If all I need to do is unstick the rings with some Chemtool or something and wash out the catalytic converter, then I'm golden. Well, except for that battery that I've been playing whack-a-mole with.
Not much. Most people take what they can get for their old car and use it as a down payment on a new car or new to them used car. $20,000 at 5% for 60 months is $378 a month
