I have only read the first page of this thread so I am assuming there is just an exhaust issue and other minor stuff. Just fix it. Rust doesn't make it a bad or unreliable vehicle. My DD is 14 years old and has 200k and a lot of rust too, not scared of keeping it though. You have a shit load of debt and a car that runs and drives. Obvious solution.that's all fine and dandy for someone else to say if they're not in the same position. My explorer is almost 20 years old....if its rusted through the panels, then its a goner. Maybe I should consider going to a Ranger LOL. I WILL check the panels underneath, see what may or may not be cooking under there, then decide.
My car has to SELL first before any of this will happen....
