My 12v is getting to 68,000 miles, so if i renew my insurance for another 12 months it's probably going to need: clutch, timing belt, and possibly head gasket territory
So think i'm going to try and sell for say £1200
Then looking at a car for sub 500 quid to get 12 months out of it at least
Friends brother will sell me his v reg escort 1.6 finesse for below 500: had belt done, clutch twice been well looked after by his mum and dad and he drives it sensibly most of the time
but- has got few bad scratches (mates a fucking terrible driver when it comes to parkign ect  ) and dodgy ford alloys because he buckled the originals + has bit of rust on back arches
or- looks for something similar on ebay or autotrader....... probably get a better car but not know the history but be more picky with rust scratches ect

if you hate driving it... why you asking us what to do... Sell up, get something you enjoy.

Mine has done nearly that many miles and is still going strong. I wouldn't worry about it.
If you hate driving it so much, then you answered your own question.
