I have to agree with Ari on this one. Case of better the devil you know. As ultimately your car is for general use, at least you KNOW its $2k to fix it, and that will put it back as reliable and useable.
The car has fully depreciated, it will hurt spending the money on it but to be honest, its still a lot of car for the cash and what will you get to replace it? Probably something with a different badge but the same problems. Also the newer cheaper cars you can get for the same money won't have all the toys - granted we all wish some of the toys weren't there as they cause more trouble than they're worth! I recently thought of px-ing my car, best i could find was a bmw for the same money, lower spec, higher mileage and 'some' service history. the saab is still outside.....
If I were you I'd get it fixed cos at least you have a known quantity. If it really is something newer you want you may find you have to take a big hit on the sales price to take into account any of the work you haven't done to it.
Drive it into the ground !!
