I purchased my 98 for $5,800, and since have put into it the same in parts and accouterments, with a plethora of preventative maintenance parts waiting to be installed. All in all, since purchasing the car last August I've spent ~$13,500. That said...
If I blew the engine tomorrow I'd have a roller worth little. Does that bother me? No. I purchased the car to enjoy, on my terms, with no expectation of ever recouping my money. However, I do know I've a solid ride. Likely I'll own it forever, just like the '86 325 I've had since '94 (and dropped $13 in 2 years into it).
Unless so desperately you need the quid... just keep it, driving it forever.
You're not losing anything... nothing... zero... until you sell the car.
Now, go drive the **************** out of it.
