Car blue books for around 5000 mint.

Absolutly mandatory work is actually very little. The car only has about 129,000 on it. INSANLY low miles for living in Seattle where the average is 100,000 in 3 or 4 years. Ive seen 2004's with 120+.

Most of the stuff is just annoyance kinda shit. like the windshield, and not having the stereo. Engine maintainace, suspension, and brakes are top of the list with 1000 being the estimate on the suspension alone. The minor shit i can do myself, but i have a shop that will do the rest and have cut me some deals in the past.

Concensous seems to be sell the thing though... so i'll let this continue for a bit.

Sell it and get a '73 Duster instead.

with the 340?

it depends on how much money you have to make on necessary repairs. if you get a new car, sell this one, dont trade it in. once you sell it, go get a new/used corolla or camry.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sedan... HHAAHAAH. I've pretty much vowed never to own anything with 4 doors again after my Maxima.
