More Car (Auto) Advice

Here's another question then. I we decide to keep the Honda going for another 2-3 years, is it worth investing $1,000 to $2,000 in fixing the worst rust areas? This would be mostly for cosmetic reasons but I'm sure it would run even better if we fixed the rusty fenders, etc. :-) :-)

I would not spend a cent for cosmetic on that car (on any car:-). I did see lots of people that tried fighting rust. It was either only cosmetic at the surface and did not change anything or it was very expensive (e.g. restoration of a high value old timer).

But I assume the structure of the body is stable and fit. We are talking about cosmetic only, do we?
