What makes more financial sense now that I'm about through paying off the Avalon?

Take that $200 I was spending on it per month and save that for my next car? That way in less than 5 years I'll have $10,000 saved up for that car, which coincidentally will be about the time the Avalon will hit 15 years old and 200,000 miles.

Or should I use that $200 per month to keep the Avalon it tip top shape? It could use a little body work and paint, a little uplholstry work. At some point it will need another HV battery for a couple grand. I could try to find every part that has any rust whatsoever and try to sand it all out and paint it really good.
