My question to those that say to run would what specifically breaks? Being able to fix the car yourself and having a stash of parts on hand goes a long way to keeping it going.

For example, an alternator failure would be a major event for a non car repair person but for someone that has some spare parts and a bit of skill it is an opportunity to save a few $ and have a look at the cars general health.
