The average driver will put 20,000 kms on a car in a year, that's 200,000 to 210,000 on yours. You have 198,000 miles on yours so you are not that out of line on the mileage, it is a little high though.
Do you think you can buy a new car and afford payments comfortably? You didn't say what was wrong with the one you have now so will $600 turn it back into a reliable vehicle? If not, get rid of it. If so, think about being $15,000 in debt again.

You did not say what needs fixing and how good the condition of the car is beside the mileage.. Tires, brakes, body, interior, paint, steering, ect. If the car is in nice well cared for condition it would be worth putting in that much if you are sure that is all it would take to fix it.. If the car is in rough shape at almost 200,000 miles, it is time to look for something newer. Condition is everything on automobiles.
