i can't afford to be paying $2000 maintenance fees every few months.

how long do you think the car will last before it completely dies? it only has 60k miles but it is over a decade old.
I hate to break it to you but it is not at all uncommon to spend half the value of the car on repairs and replacements. It all depends on luck I'd have to say. Some people have over 200k+ miles on this forum with very minor problems, while others have had engine failures at just 20,000 miles! A little research goes a long way when it comes to these cars. Since you're based in Richardson, I sent you a message regarding your situation.
