I've got a 1995 Chrysler Concorde that is getting to the end of its life. The mileage isn't bad (110,000) but the repair bills are starting to mount. Plus, it needs a paint job (with grinding down some rust, but no rust-throughs) very badly. Maaco advised about $1,000 (mostly labor to grind the rust).
The Kelly Blue Book value, considering that its starting to rust, is about $1,100. I just had it in to the dealer to see about three repairs and they'll run about $1,000. So, I'm thinking that its about time to say goodbye.
I'm in no hurry to get rid of it as it runs (at least for the moment) and I drive very little since my office is very close. Considering its value/condition, I think I might be better off selling it for parts? The last time I tried to trade in a car like this they gave just a few hundred dollars on trade.
What do you advise? -- Rik
ps: It has very nice wheels and the tires probably have only about 15K miles on them.
