When to let a car go?

I have a 01 TDI Jetta with 393K miles and I'm coming up on the timing belt change again. Is it worth it to keep putting money in a car with this many miles?

The car still runs well, but my wife was nervous when I took my son Tuesday night to a UVA basketball game about a 2 hour drive from home.

The car still gets upper 40'sMPG and I just put on new tires and a battery.

Maybe I'm just lazy and don't won't to do the work again.
