If the needs have changed (e.g., minivan) that's one thing. But buying a new car for over $20K because of maintenance on an old car that's paid for free & clear is usually a false economy. You can do a lot of maintenance for the price of those new car payments, to say nothing of the difference in insurance costs because the new vehicle is worth more. Remember how fast depreciation occurs on a new vehicle. It kills you! Your SAAB may not have been the right car for you, but I'm not sure about the finances. Not sure how many miles you had on it, but these engines will easily go over 200K, and much more, properly maintained. I don't even think the $1000 head gasket job is out of line.
