Keep it, or get rid of it

[klawsterfobik]

Ok, i need a bit of help deciding whether to keep my car or sell it for as much as i can and either get something else, or stick to the old cars.

The car has got 260,000k's on it, and in the last month ive replaced the MAF sensor, Alternator, Battery and now the power steering has just died on me. I love driving the thing, but at the rate im going im not going to be able to afford to keep paying for repairs and drive it at the same time.

So do i whack a 2nd hand pump on it, and try and flog it off and go back to my old cars. Or do i keep putting up with it? and just hope that nothing else goes wrong with it?

Another thing to consider is that i still have a $8,500 loan that needs to be paid off. So ill need ATLEAST that much for it.
