2. Are the brakes in need of a major expense?
3. Are the steering parts in good condition?
4. Is the body rotten?

Get a couple of estimates to have it fixed, and then look up the value of your car on cars.com or the Kelly Blue Book site. If it costs more to have it fixed than the car is worth, and you have no emotional attachment to the car, junk it. Or perhaps you can sell it to someone as-is as a fixer-upper.
Bottom line is, do your homework and you can figure it out.

Well, that sounds not too serious. Just a timing belt. The mechanic can tell you for sure when you tell him the car make, model and engine size.
