I am just going to leave this reply I left here on a sibling thread as I addressed most of this there. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44951308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44951308 It is often not worth continuing to maintain a vehicle after a certain point.

Working on your car yourself, isn't hard if you have the time and space. I don't have space really. > The turbo failing is the only thing here that raises an eyebrow for me; everything else is just standard maintenance. I don't think the previous owner maintained it properly. It lived a hard life on a farm.
