What kind of TLC does it need? What did it fail for? And whats your budget?

it really depends on yourself, its up to you if you think the car is worth it. find out why it failed and how much itll cost you to fix the problem and go from there.

look at it this way if you sell it there is a possibility that you'll end up back in the same spot sometime soon. so work with what you got and fix it, you're only making it better by doing so.

I had a similar situation with my 7, it needed alot of work and at times i thought about selling it, saving some money and buying a new one, but after a little work i decided to stick with it, it makes you more proud of your car if you do the work.
