With spring coming and me starting in a new job that will increase my travel drastically im left with a question. My Mr2 has seen better days and is likly looking at a few grand worth of maintainance and repair. Its paid off and im beginning to get into a situation where i can save some money in decent quantities. Leaving me to ask, do i fix up the old girl and put maybe $3,000 into it. Or do i take that 3 grand and the trade value on my car and purchase a new vehicle?

As of now i need a new:
Windsheild
Ac compressor
Front wheel wells (plastic inserts)
Suspension
Brakes (minimum of pads rotors are ok)
interior trim (stereo surround)
stereo (old one died since it was from a car involved in a wreck)
tires
Heater blower

Not to mention just general up keep for things such as the T tops, and engine. Paint is still in decent condition as are the seats and most of the interior. Its a daunhting list to say the least, which is why im considering a new vehicle.
