Is it worth spending money on a car that old? You are putting more than the car is worth into fixing it and you won't get that back if you sell. You also have no idea when/if something else will go. thew worst case is the day after you fix it someone hits you and the repairs will be $30,000 - what it cost new and there are still a lot of worn out parts: insurance will give you $4000 and tell you to eat the loss.

30000? What? Leaf packs are swap able between years… here in bc 2k and you have a newer pack in
30k is the real cost to repair some accident damage to a leaf - think bent frame. this could happen anytime. Nobody would pay that price to the whole car ends up in a junk yard.
