You might consider parting it out. This is selling the good parts off of the car to interested parties, usually via classified ads. Parts that may be of interest to someone are transmissions, starters, generators, steering components, brake components, etc. When everything good is gone sell the hulk for salvage or scrap metal. People buying parts from a part out car usually pull their own parts so you don't need to know machanics to do it You do need a place to conduct the activity where neighbors and authorities won't complain.

I knew a guy once that got his older car booted for back parking tickets in Denver. He just parted it out right there on the street and the city couldn't touch him since it was during the booting period before the city could legally tow it off!

Timing Belts. Been there done that.
If you look in your owners manual you'll see they reccommend replacing every 60,000 miles. They are serious about this one. I ignored this to my peril. The engine just quit without any unnatural sound. In the months before mine went I started to notice a lot of Subarus the same model as mine on the side of the road. Eventually went through 2 sets and traded in at 150K.
