OK - the topic might of have thrown you but she is still my baby!

1988 W201 - 190e - 2.3L.

She has 167K miles under her hood and she still runs well. But I feel that I need to intern her into a shop! She needs to get her whole suspension redone. I am thinking that she needs at least US$1200.00 of suspension work to make her feel right again.

My question:

Is a 17 yr old car with 167k MILES on her worth the investment?

I could easily go out and get a Kia Sorento Diesel (or something similiar) with the triptronic box and make monthly payments of 300 bills and forget about the old hag. But should I do this or re-invest in her to make her feel young?
