I make about as much as you make a year. I don't have to repair either of my older cars on a monthly basis, and when I do, it's usually not a big deal. I'm not afraid to break out the toolbox and take care of it. As someone else said, if you don't want to deal with it, get something new.

I'd be interested in knowing what repairs your five year old car has required in, say, the last 6 months, but if you'd rather not go into that, I understand.
