When do you decide that your car is too much of a money-pit and trade it in?

Asked by janbb (62875points) June 11th, 2010

I have a 10 year old Volvo wagon with about 160,000 miles on it. In the last month, I have put in a new driveshaft, had major brake work done and now the air conditioner needs a new compressor. I’m trying to decide whether to trade it in or spend more money and keep it a few more years. Don’t really want car payments but could afford them if need be. What to do?
