<prompt> Human: I drive a 10 year old car but it has very low miles 50,000. The blue book value for a car in fair condition of this model is 4500-6000. I think I could get 6,000 due to the low miles. I just found out there are about 3,000 worth of repairs and regular maintenance that need to be done see list below. I realize regular maintenance are not repairs, and I guess I didnt really just find out about those, but all this is coming in one bill so I am lumping this together.The car is a Mercury Grand Marquis 2005, I own it outright. I view a car as a means of getting from A to B with air conditioning and a radio. As long as the car is safe to drive, I plan to continue driving it. Up until this point, the car has had regular oil changes and fluid changes at the intervals suggested by mechanics.UPDATEThis is the itemized repair estimate:TIRES, PARTS4 Tires 406.724 Tire Sensors 31.80Tire Tax 8.12TIRES, LABORMount and Balance 64.00Wheel Alignment 79.95BRAKES, PARTSF Ceramic Pads 99.72R Ceramic Pads 99.72BRAKES, LABORFront Brake Service - Slip off rotors, replace pads, resurface rotors, lube contact points 127.50Rear Brake Service - Slip off rotors, replace pads, resurface rotors, lube contact points 127.50FUEL SYSTEM, PARTSFuel System Cleaner 56.14FUEL SYSTEM, LABORFuel Injection Service - Clean carbon from throttle body, intake runners and intake valves - 91.50TRANSMISSION FLUSH, PARTSComp Verstran ATF 91.202 Pt.

I do plenty of stuff DIY but I am very happy to hand my car over to an expert and pay them for that expertise. If I were you, Id repair and keep driving. Id do that because I know the car, the history, how well I have or havent cared for it. Id be confident in its reliability after these repairs. If I bought a new-to-me-car for a few thousand bucks, Id be terrified I just wasted that money to buy someone elses problems.
