Probably not. Price a new transmission and struts and compare that to what the car is worth.

Really depends on what the car is worth to you... fixing it is always less expensive... compared to buying a new or later model car.

Sales tax and insurance on a newer car is expensive. I wouldn't worry about the overall value... think of the service you'll get.
