Should I keep it? 850 1995

I have a 1995 850 wagon that I have own since 32,000 miles. It has 298,500 miles now and looks great. Over the years, other than a rear seal @ 60,000 and routine maintenance such as tune ups every 70K & brakes every now and again, I really haven't done any other repairs. As you can imagine I am needing several repairs such as a new heater fan, struts, timing belt, front end work, and several other minor issues. It scares me that I haven't had to spend more money on repairs. I travel ~ 50,000 miles/year, should I spend a few bucks for another years use or should I sell it and consider myself lucky?

I have visited this site for years now and have gained so very much with the knowledge shared here. Thanks to all!

Jim
