Acura needs rear main seal and differential seals done which require the engine to be dropped...cost: $1,500-$2,000. The car has 253,000 miles on it but otherwise is in tip top shape. I am afraid that the mechanics will nickel dime me to death if I keep it when they see the odometer...Is it time to get the new car? I only have $15,000 to work with if I don't want a note...

253,000 miles. That's pretty good for a car.
As you already know things are starting to wear out on your car. You can choose to fix these things as they happen but I think you will be money ahead by buying a newer car.

for 15000 you could get a new or newer car with way less problems.ive owned cars with that kind of mileage and unless theyve had immaculate maintenance and many new parts the clock is ticking to catstrophy!

how much oil is it loosing ? does it leave a puddle or a stain where you park it ? that is way too much money to put into a car with that high mileage , get a second opinion and see if you can live with the leak , i would .
