Fix or buy another car

Other then the oil, if we assume the leak is the cause of excessive oil consumption, you have fairly routine fix items. $2000 sounds like a good deal to get a car you will have to pay $11000 for otherwise. If you fix it, you saved $9000. You still like the car ? What do you think your chances are getting a car you like that does as much for 11k…slim and none. Fix it ! In this day and age, you can spend $1000 for routine maintenance from a dealer.
