Well if you can afford $700 for a radio and speakers and $1700 for a
naviagation system I am sure you can make some montly payments on a newer
Honda and just take all the stuff with you. I would say the car is a little
too old to be screwing around with. If it is an 88' there is a good chance
it was made in 87 or early 88' and with the coming year that makes it about
16 years old. I think you got your money out of that car.

Hell you could probably get a 95 Accord EX for about 4-5K if you look hard.

I just looked up our local paper though and the local asshole Ford
dealership is asking $3999 for a 1988 Honda Accord DX with 188k miles. Kiss
my ass!!!!!!!!

You could wait until it breaks down altogether. That should get you a few
more miles.
