Wheel upgrade?

My dilemma,
My rear wheel (hub shimano 600 6 speed with mavic G40 rims) needs to have the rim replaced.
Bike is a Cilo 1985 . Plane on riding it for the next two seasons (4000 miles) and get a new bike then.
Does it make sense to spend ~ $300.00 on a new wheel set, have the rear wheel rebuilt~$150.00
or find a used wheel on e-bay and use the money towards a $700-800 new bike for the next couple of years.
Thanks
