Unless you love the car, it's cheaper to ditch and go used. Or save a little then go "new".
I love the car, other than the hybrid part. It's a 2009 Ford Escape with low, low mileage. It was my commuter car back in Phoenix, about 1 mile each way, hence the low mileage. I don't like buying somebody else's problems, so it would cost me $40-50K to replace it. I would get next to zero for a trade-in for a broken car.
My attitude with cars has generally been to buy them new and drive the wheels off.
