What to do!

My ZT 190+ needs some love and attention. I've been quoted about £400 to have a small dent taken out of the wing and some scuffs sorted out on the bumpers. It needs the cam belts replacing and one of the engine mounts has gone so you get a bang if you put your foot down too hard. It could probably do with a proper paint correction as well.

I've got 10 grand which I was going to use to get a new car and get rid of mine. I'm looking at a 3.0 XF as the most likely candidate at the moment.

At the weekend when I was out in my ZT I thought that maybe I should spend a couple of thousand getting it reasonably well sorted and keep the rest of the cash for a rainy day. Am I throwing good money after bad? Or will I be looking at ZTs on Autotrader in a couple of years going for silly money and wishing I'd kept mine.

What would you do?
