Atul,
It's a tough call. How has your 900S been besides the alternator? Mine has only left me stranded once, due to a blown radiator hose at 161,000 miles. The funny thing is she held on until we were home, then let go in the driveway, so we weren't even really stranded.
I tend to be religious with maintenance and preventive maintenance- all hoses were replaced after that one went, pulleys are replaced every 70,000 miles, etc. I don't mind spending a bit on her every few months because it is drastically less than paying off a loan every month (she's paid for!)
If your 900S has been reasonably reliable beyond the alternator, I would consider keeping it and saving the money for the time being. I understand the lure of the next car, though. I always have my eye on the next one, but like I wrote earlier, I just can't justify getting rid of the Battle Wagon yet.
Let me know what you decide.
Brian
