I went through this in December. Keep dumping endless amounts of cash into an old 9-5 (2001 V6 with 184k miles) or take on some car payments and get a newer 9-5? I chose door number two and cannot be happier. While it's obviously cheaper to keep fixing your old car (to a point), there's not as much satisfaction in having a shiny new(er) car. You also don't run the risk of it crapping out on you. My '04 9-5 has had some stupid niggly things go wrong but nothing that's broken the bank. DI cassette, battery, trans flush in the past six months... And it's a blast to drive!
