get rid of my Protege or don't?
Ok here's my story and problem. A few months ago, my dear older brother gave me his 95' Protege LX. right off the back i knew there were a few things wrong with it, like the struts were broken, and one of the door locks wasn't working, front speakers blown up! and so on.... so whatever...no big deal i said...bottom line is ..i went to change the oil ( i know nothing about cars, this is my first) and the guys at the shop did a check up on it while changing the oil.....and they found the following things wrong with the car...
car needs:
-valve cover gasket
-2 front struts
-3 motor mounts
-2 outer tie rods
-wheel alignment
-timing belt replacement
-cam and crank seals
-* possibly a major tune up ( optional )
So my question is.....should i even bother fixing the stuff on the car...or just simply get rid of it...
one thing i want to say is that at the shop, the guy said that to get all that replaced and done on the car would come to about $3000, which really didn't make me a happy camper, but i do wanna stick around with the car and lear w/e i need to learn about cars from this one.....
So what u guys think...Fix or Get rid of it?????
