I plan on keeping the car for quite some time even with the age and mileage so it does not bother me to do that kind of repair. I figure a new car would have issues and I would have a monthly payment as well. Plus I get near 26 mpg on the hwy which is equal to a new car so what is the point of a new car? I am not a kid who needs 300 hp so this sits well with me. Otherwise no major issues with the vehicle.
