Figure out how much it will take you to fix those problems, and then figue out how much it is really going to cost you to trade. I don't know what you mean by "a/c problems" and "rack and pinion problems", so the repair cost could vary, but if you are willing to work on the car yourself, you may be able to fix all of those things for hundreds of dollars. Now, if you do trade, I dare say you are going to spend thousands of dollars on the trade, and you may end up with a car with just as many problems. A used car is always a gamble, but my experience has been that by doing my own work, whenever possible, my cost per mile is quite low.
