But only you can make that call.
I agree...
My parents bought a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird LE Sedan brand new in January of 1994. First my mom drove it, than my dad, than me and finally it was our extra car. Unfortunately, it was rusted so bad we ended up making the tough decision of selling it to a local junkyard for $275.00 in January of 2013. It was a very tough decision, especially since it still ran great and only had 264,010 miles on it, but it was so badly rusted and was in need of some repairs. I'm pretty sure if we tried to put it up on a lift, the frame probably would have broken in half, that's how bad the rust was. It was a tough decision, but as GOF said, ultimately only you can decide what is the right decision for you. Best of luck with whatever you decide.
Here's a thread on how to post pictures.
