A brake service is cheaper than a new car. Always.

My last few cars, which had over 100,000 miles on them, I would suck out the brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir using a baby nose suction bulb syringe. You can suck out most of the reservoir which will mix with the bad fluid making the boiling point higher and removing some of the fluid that might have water in it. Keep in mind brake fluid is supposed to be almost clear, if it is a dark color it has moisture in it.

Yes but Brake service is not only thing needed, plus the cloth seats after 16 years are a mess, visor broke, needs spark plugs, soon brakes need replacement, another timing belt, speaker problems, etc. I think 150,000 miles and 16 years is a good time frame to get something new. When I got this car an upgrade was a CD player. Time to join modern times

Turkey clear baster is also nice and fast. I always suggest a 2yr interval of replacing brake fluid unless you track, then it's fresh fluid right before every track day.
