2001 Maxima worth fixing?
Hello,
Been looking at the forums and different guides and trying to figure out if my car is worth fixing.
I have gotten two p430 codes over the last year.
The engine seems to pause them jump forward at times when going at slower speeds (5-10mph).
Been told all four struts are bad and tires are going with the struts.
A leak in the AC Compressor.
Also it will idle super rough sometimes right after being started but goes away after being driven for a bit.
I assume the catalytic converter is the p430 code which I was quoted about 900 to have fixed. The struts I was quoted about $1500 to have fixed and $900 for the AC. Then some set of tires on top of all of that after that.
My question is my 2001 Maxima with 145k miles and close to $3,500 in repairs plus tires worth fixing?
I can't do any work on my own because the only place I can park the car is on the street and the most mechanical thing I have ever done is change the oil. I am concerned that the catalytic converter might have damaged the car. I have had to replace the radiator already as well.

If you can recommend any shops near Seattle that would be helpful. I would rather not do this sort of work on my own. I have no where to do the work since the car is always just parked a street that's reasonably busy and it's my only car so I can't easily get to a shop if something goes wrong.

Fix it. Way cheaper then you are making it out to a bro, do your homework and it will all work out. I've dumped thousands into my car for repairs an mods. And I will continue to to that. One thing about building it from broken is it's done better then factory and how you want it.
