Use Motorcraft oil filters. They have a check valve that will greatly reduce timing chain guide wear. Any car with 240,000 miles will need parts from time to time. There's also an ongoing possibility that the thing may die at that advanced age. But at the price, as has been said, you can't go wrong, especially since it's a second vehicle from which absolute reliability isn't required.
Hopefully you can do your own work because repair labor adds up quickly.
I'd look over the brake lines and undercarriage for serious rust and go for it it all else looks good.
