Before just giving up on the car.. $3K in repairs can get a level reliablilty on the car you have now, versus spending an unknown amount on a replacement car and an unknown amount of troubles and repairs.
Just some food for thought.... Many times one looks at the cost of repairs to the value of the car.. Economist say this is the wrong formula to use. Look at the cost of the repair to the cost of new purchase and the unknowns of that purchase.
All that aside, I understand how if feels to money into a car when it seems it would be easier to just replace it.... but really what can you buy for $3K that is going to be as nice as the ride you have now?
