depends what kind of new car you are after. Your car looks in top condition, have a look at ebay and see some of the so called 'gems' on there, picking up cabs in good condition these days is getting rare. if your not into spending the time repairing the jobs yourself to cut costs then a new car is probably best i thought that would have been the fun of owning one always the element of doubt on each jorney you might have to be towed back.
