Time To Part?, 350 000 km Tercel (220 000 miles) - Needs maintenance Options

[morglum]

Hi everyone,

I just moved from one province to another and my tercel needs the following to be plated. I've owned it from the start and would have parting since it never broke down on me.


Here is what I need to do :

*Needs to be done for plates* :
1) Brakes all around, bearings all around, both belts : maybe 450$ for parts
2)replace Windshield 230$ installed
3) replace left door handle 25$ for parts
4)repair one small hole in the side of the body. No hole at all in the floor. free.

*Coming soon*:
1) driver side axle boot is torn. Guess I would just replace the whole half-axle ; 120$ for parts
2) Was told the oil pan is leaking. That would make sense because I do have to add oil every once in a while, but I didnt need to add any oil after a 2000 km (1200 miles) trip. dont know the price.

All in, excluding the oil pan, I'm looking to spend about 900$ on that car. That isnt that bad, but I'm worried because I replace almost nothing in the past 4 years ( suspension '06 at 250 000 km, battery last year, starter this year), so a lot of repairs might be coming up.

I remember being told last year that my head gasket was going because of oil leaks , but that was by a mechanic I dont trust and the one that did my quick inspection only mentionned the leaking oil pan.

What do you think?
