Rest looks very good still (car is black)...
My new goal for this car is 300k. I am having a VERY hard time deciding if I should reward it with a cheapo paint job or not...
(local guy says he can do it for like $300... Maaco is also there).
IDK if it's worth it or not to repaint; I do have a LOT of respect for this car, thought. Has been rock solid and very dependable with only 1 major repair so far. (radiator replaced). Oh and the washer fluid pump just went out, but I think I can probably DIY it...
If you are keeping it till 300k, I'd spend the $300 and get it painted. It has been faithful all this time, so why not reward it with a paintjob!
