2007 Kia Sportage LX V6 4WD vs. 2011 Honda Element 4 cyl 2WD

My car needs 4 new tires, new brakes, a timing belt, two front struts, and a 4 wheel alignment. It’s also due to have the transmission oil replaced. It’s a Pennsylvania car so it’s rusty underneath. Not terribly so, but rusty nonetheless. It has 107,000 miles. I own it outright and I paid $700 for it in 2020 and have pumped a few grand in to replace the rear differential seal, the high pressure power steering line, tires, and the two rear struts. It’s only worth about $4-5k if I were to sell it (according to KBB)

Or:

Do I buy a 2011 element from a dealer down the road? It was in NC its entire life and is wicked clean underneath. It has 170,000 miles and was regularly maintained. (I had an Element before the Kia and it had 280,000 when I sold it). It has had two owners and never been in an accident. The dealer had the recall work done by the Honda dealer in town and also put 4 brand new tires on. I have the dealer talked into $9k for the Element and including dealer fees, taxes, and tag fees.

Thoughts?
