If this is the end (and I think it is, more likely than not), definitely I will be donating it. I don't think I could ever part w/it if I had to picture it sitting in a junkyard somewhere, all sad and abandoned (and that says way more about me than about the car, doesn't it...). There are any number of places in my area that will take donations, and since the body is still in really good shape, I'm fairly sure they'd be happy to have it.
Thanks for the info on your car buying experience--every little bit helps!
