It sounds like it could be a money pit. Sometimes cars hit the point where you've replaced so much on them you'd think you'd not have to replace anything for a long, long time. They always seem to have some other part that goes out on you. It kind of depends on if your car is at that point or not. You've probably not had it long enough to know if you're going to spend all the rest of the time you have it repairing it constantly or not. It's just got to be your call. If you have a mechanic you trust you could take it to him and have him look at it and ask his opinion. I had good mechanics back in Texas. They were friends as well as my mechanics. I had a car once that they told me I needed to sell and cut my losses. They were right too!

get a new car, this car is too old and you will keep spending
money on repairs.. look for a car that isn't too expensive where
maybe you can afford to lease it.. a friend of my leases a
chevy colbolt for about 120 a month.. check it out.

I'd get a second opinion regarding that $1000 figure first!

NEVER BUY DOMESTIC OR ANY IMPORTS OWNED BY GENERAL MOTORS
