850 RIP (Soon, anyways) 850 1993

In most cases it is less expensive to keep a car then sell it
and replace it. Even if that means doing a bit of maintenance.
Things like insurance change, sales tax on the sale (depending
on state), registration fees, etc. So, I'd think the least
costly option is to just keep driving it.

Make sure brakes, tires and safety stuff is kept maintained.
Do the simple maintenance listed on volvospeed.com/bay13.htm
yourself (especially the flame trap which can lead to blow-by).
No need to overhaul the engine (your mechanic is right, that is
too expensive). It should last you a while (or even a lot)
longer until your financial situation improves.
