Sometimes you need to have the discipline to cut your future losses by knowing when to stop spending money on what may well currently be a cheap project car. A 16 year old car with a couple hundred thousand miles on it already, in the mechanical condition your's may be in - qualifies or comes very close to qualifying as a project car. The question you need to ask yourself is; if you didn't already own this car - how much would you be willing to sink into it, as a project car in order to put it back in reliable running order? And once in order - how long will it be to the next major repair bill(s)?

An old adage around here is: The highest priced Mercedes-Benz is the one you think you got cheap.
