Agree, why spend all that money for a problem that's not terminal on a high-mileage car?
You can:
1) spend the $ on a high mileage, fully depreciated car. Aka, you can expect to 20% of this money back, maybe less.
2) continue to drive it as you always have and just sell it whenever you want. Only out a few hundred dollars for the life of the car.
The engine doesn't fail unless you run it low on oil. Even if you do that, you'd have to spend that money then, not now.
