I've got a '97 V6 Mercury Cougar with 253,000 miles and I love it.
I just got back from a 1600 mile trip in it and it averaged 28 mpg and didn't burn a drop of oil.
I put a hot new stereo in it with a complete underlayment of sound deadener everywhere in the cab so it rides as quiet as a Lexus, am redoing the upholstery to new, put new shocks, windshield, etc...
So was it worth putting $1500 in a $2000 car?? To me, yes... I enjoy coaxing more life out of it. And $1500 would barely be a decent down payment on a new vehicle.
With this, insurance is $45/6 months for liability and it wouldn't hurt too bad financially if I got hit. The only other car I'd be interested in driving would be a 2010 Camaro and I'd feel nervous about driving one of those unless I had it insured for replacement value, which obviously would be quite a bit more for ins.
Besides, living cheap with vehicles helps pay for my old tractor habit... :)
