Default NEED OPINION

Hey guys, I have a MItsubishi Eclipse GS 1995 FWD with 148.000 miles on it. So far I've spend some money on the car and I need some opinion if I should sell it or should I keep it.

I change the transmission, new radiator, new powersteering pump, new struts (2 front and 2 rear), new upper knuckle bushings, new tires, rebuilt top end engine, K&N filter, new Header, new rotors ( 2 front and 2 rear)
Pioneer cd player with 3 channel amp alpine and sony Xploid 10" subwoofer. Right now I'm working on the ECM. I getting a new one in about a week and change out the old one with the new one. I think I'm the third owner and I've been taking care of this car like my own son. I maintain on oil changing every 2500 miles. check tire pressure every month. Always has half a tank of fuel at all the time.

How many miles would this car last to?

if the answer yes I should sell, how much should I sell?

Thanks guys!!! I appreciate it

in my opinion, you shouldnt sell your car. since you throw quite a bit of money into it. and if you sell it now. people wont really give you a high price for it. you should keep it. and if you keep doing the oil changes. it should last quite long.

that engine should last you a while. It sounds like its pretty well maintainted. So i dont see you really having a problem with it. Obviously becuase its getting up there your still probably going to have general maintenance but i doubt that the car will die on you. The best thing i think to do is to do a compression test and see how well the motor is performing. If thats fine then your good to go.

All I'm wishing for my car is to last till nearly 200.000 miles. That's should be around 3 years from now. Do u think it will go up there? if the motor is still ok because I didn't do anything with the lower part of the engine
