I battle with this daily. I mean, when you think about it, if you just cut your losses and sell it, you'll be paying more for another car, possibly a LOT more if you get something newer. So it'll never pan out financially. Ex: I'ld love to ditch the tour for a new Civic Si sedan (Autoweek just reported that it's coming!). So I sell the tour (which has many of the same probs as yours) for what, like $2,000 max? And then I buy a new car for $20,000? Or do I just put another $1,000 to keep her running and drive off into the sunset until she totally konks out.
Head=put money in her, keep her running.
Heart=sell, get something new and exciting.
