142,500 miles,needs radiator,Vtec seals, distributor,..heater hose head to valve

time to repl depends on how much $ u have. but yes its a good time to upgrade

if it still runs ok and your sure it needs these parts fix it but I would want a second opinion as to what it needs

Do you like your car? Do you trust the shop that is recomending these repairs and are they the primary shop you have it maintained at?Right now you have a 'used car' that you know. None of the repairs listed are unusual for that mileage and age however , if the check engine light is not on , I would wonder why they are recommending a distributor(if I'm reading your question correctly).V-TEC seals leaking are common but often ignored until they get really bad (and cause other problems). Just some random thoughts , good luck with whichever you choose.

Buy a new engine it's probably cheaper
