LOL, that is a decision I will never contemplate.
I simply cannot relate to having a vehicle that old, or wanted to keep it.
I say scrap it and buy a brand new one but I get the feeling you and I see things different.

I am the ultimate tightwad, but I never drive a vehicle that I don't totally trust to get me to where I am going and back.
The oldest vehicle I've ever had showed about 140k on it.
If the water pump or alternator goes out, it gets traded in.
That is the only extravagance allowed, but I really like having a low-mileage vehicle to drive.

For zample, my F-150 is 7 years old and has 87,000 miles on it.
last week I noticed the driver's seat has a tiny tear in the upholstery on the edge and I immediately thought, time for a new one.

Now I probably won't buy a new truck this week or this month, but having a tear on the fabric definitely means that truck is on it's way out and it's just a matter of time until a good deal on a new truck catches my eye.
