Can I get some advice on repairing vs. replacing my car, please?

I recently dropped almost eoght hundred dollars into repairing my car. Now it needs an expensive brake job and new tires. My car has over 130K on the odometer. I'm not sure I can afford a car payment right now. Should I pour more money into my car or try to find a newer ( used ) car?Can I get some advice on repairing vs. replacing my car, please?
Need more info on the car. What kind is it? Maybe people know more about one type or another better.Can I get some advice on repairing vs. replacing my car, please?
If you can only afford used cars it's probably not a bad idea to learn how to do as many repairs yourself as you can. Doing your own repairs can save you a ton of money.





You could buy a cheap second car as backup transportation while you work out how to repair the first one.





Then you can drive the first one while you repair the second one that broke down in the meantime...
Shop around for tyhe best prices on the brakes and the tires or find some good used tires if you want to keep the cost down...... Even putting some more money into the car is cheaper than a couple of payments on a new one!
Even if you are the first owner and took immaculate care of the car, the probability is that the transmission will need replacing around 150,000 miles if it's the original transmission. Sure, some transmissions might go over 200,000 miles, but not on average. Any front wheel drive remanufactured transmission installed will cost $2800 or so. So if you've taken good care of the car, I would roll the dice and keep it going until the transmission fails, and then send it to that junk yard in the sky. Of course it's possible you could have a major engine overheating episode and need a head gasket job which would also be expensive to repair in many cases. Recognize that tires and brakes are wear items that are needed eventually by every car, new or old.
it might be cheaper fixing Ur car
that all depends on the car,and how nice it is right now,and if that's all it needs done to it,if its going to be a money pit,you might want to consider trading it,but if its a really good car other than the things you mentioned it would be worth repairing,you can probably get that one fixed and drive it for a few more years,but that choice will be yours to make you didn't tell me what kind of car it is ,so i really have no idea what your working on,but any car if its not in too bad of shape is better than a car payment,i hate paying car payments,it always seems like there never going to get payed off,but you might want to fix it,and drive it some more,maybe later on a car payment wont look to bad,good luck on it,hope this helps.
So you've already spent eight hundred and are now faced with at least six hundred more? If you want to saddle yourself with additional debt, replace the car. Of course, there's no guarantee that the replacement will not need repairs...





I'd suggest that you have your present car thoroughly checked by a competent mechanic, fixing the things he suggest need fixing and hold onto it at least for another two or three years. 130K isn't a lot of miles, and chances are you won't find another car for a small sum of money as you're investing and have invested in your present vehicle. My vote, therefore..Repair it!
If it comes to brakes and tires. I would fix it, you already know what you have replaced. When you buy a used car you don't know whats going to happen. Hell the engine could blow up, and used cars don't come with a very good warranty.
