I would actually love to be able to move on from my 2k2 Aero, but it doesn't make sense at all fiscally (otherwise I'd be all over a Model S!). Even major repairs are only a fraction of the cost of a decent used car, let alone a new car... and as always, with used cars, you aren't ever quite sure what you are getting yourself into. Will it require expensive repairs a year down the road? Who knows?
So unless your 9-5 is on it's way out in several different areas, I'd say just repair the clutch and enjoy the car for another 100k miles. As for the shop, they better be discounting you a few hundred bucks after all the time and money you wasted while they were trying to figure out the real issue. I would also seriously consider taking it to another shop (maybe a transmission specialist). I'm not an expert, but that doesn't seem like a normal clutch failure-mode.
Good luck!
