to sell or not to sell

Bear with me, I will try to keep it short.
I've got an 84 4000 S Quattro, with 210k miles. Having the powersteering
pump replaced next week along with an associated hose, for me it's only
around $450 for the whole thing plus labor. It seems like all I will be
doing from now on will be replacing items like this, high priced ones. The
suspension is about due for some new pieces. Needs a new windshield. Hood
needs repaint, A/C and cruise don't function.
I can live with some of these, but I am just getting a little edgy about
some upcoming high priced bills if other parts need replacing. The engine
is still running well, as long as I am not starting it cold.
The car still puts along and is fun to drive, the quattro system is
functional after a few rear output seals.
In the up coming year I will be making at least four 700 mile trips, two of
those trips are with the car completely loaded, going to college and back.
My concern is that I am putting money into a vehicle which may or may not
last for another year. I rather not spend upwards of a grand if the car is
going to call it quits. If I can sell it now and get some money out of it,
then the better off I am.
Just looking for some advice.
Thank you
