Should you buy a new car? Let our calculator help you decide

Some of us like to drive 'Ole Faithful until the wheels fall off -- not literally, of course.

Others like to buy a new car every few years. Climbing behind the wheel just isn't the same without that new car smell!

And in between are those of us who want to keep our car "for a few more years." Maybe we're not quite sure what type of new car we want, or more likely, we love not having that new car payment.

But there often comes a time when our auto repair shop delivers some bad news: "Your car needs some repairs." Whether the estimate is $500 or $5,000, it can send us running to the web to research new cars.

Before you take that plunge, we highly recommend using our Repair vs. Replace Calculator to see in real dollars how much it will cost to keep your car running and how that compares to a 5- or 6-year commitment if you buy a new car.

Use the calculator now: Should I repair my car or buy a new one?
