Also, if the repairs are more than the car is worth, it isn't worth repairing.
It was a second hand car from a brother-in-law who used to drive from Pa/NJ to NYC every day to work. He took very good care of the car and kept it maintained, but cars have a half-life. It's not like the OLD DAYS where you could replace a transmission on a Chevy with fin tails and drive around Cuba.
