When the cost of repairs or required repairs exceeds the value of the vehicle its time.
Don't put a $2000.00 transmission in a $1,500.00 vehicle.
There is a point where the expression don't put good money into a bad thing applies.
My last truck had 300K on it and was pretty much worn out, although it ran fine I was avoiding a couple of required repairs.
Rather than make those repairs I opted to trade the truck in while it still had minimal life in it and put that repair money into a new vehicle.
