The a/c went a few months ago and now the tranny is gone. It's gonna cost around $1700 to repair both, but to replace it with a newer used vehicle could cost $3-5k. The Spirit has no body damage but could use a paint job. I like the Spirit because it meets my practical and emotional needs (it has been through two teenagers and I was hoping to get my third through it), but I have to question whether it makes sense to put the money into it. I know what I have with it. I'm leary of what I could end up with in a new used car. What's your opinion?
