Water Pump Replacement on High Mileage Car?

[dghii]

I'd go get the car and drive it home. 200 miles is nothing and if the car isn't weeping fluid or overheating, It'd just be terrible luck and an inconvenience that if failed on your trip home. We're talking a 3 to 4 hour trip, not a cross country trek.

I'd simply check all fluid levels and tire pressure, put the top down and enjoy the drive!
