Please help me decide (56k welcome)

good day ladies and gentlemen, if you guys/girls remember wayyyyyy back, my corolla was being such a p.i.t.a. Well, it's that time of year again and it's now decided to revive back the good old days. As you folks recalled, I was having trouble with my waterpump leaking, the next week, I installed a new radiator cap because mine was getting old, and guess what? the waterpump leaking had DRAMATICALLY decreased, believe it, i don't know why either.

on to the next culprit, with 180,000 miles on the odometer, my axles were starting to click here and there, upon replacing the passenger side axle and losing $220 only to find out that the same axle needs to be replaced 1 month later. Yes, it started to click again, this time not good. See for yourself.





the thing circled in red was VERY loose, i can wiggle and jiggle it. This is on the passenger side, not sure if it's normal or not to be that loose.

the reason why you're in my thread is to help me decide. Should I be with this car? Whether its nobler to die in the sea of arms or by opposing end them? to sleep, to sleep perchance to dream. Take out a loan and buy a new car eh? and sell this one in the process. Questions, questions on the road of life.

Keep it, fix it, 1000bucks later is still your car. Buy a new car, 10-15grand later it's yours.
