Maintenance/Repairs

So I’ve got an old '96 Maxima that I’ve been rocking for a while, but I need to replace the CV shafts/joints/axils (idk) and I’m not putting $1,000 into it. It’s currently clicking when turning, so its already bad enough to supposed to fix it.

How long do y’all recon I can drive it for? Any tell tale signs that its about to catastrophically fail so I don’t die going 70 on the highway?

I’m supposed to be hired from an intern to a full-timer this fall, so I kind of have to risk it until I get the pay boost for a newer car.
