5 year itch

Ok, I am clueless about the whole car business thingy but what I do know is that after the first 5 years, the value of a car plunges significantly. So here we are at the juncture of having to decide on whether to stick to our trusted 4 year plus Toyota Corolla (which we have already paid off) or find ourselves suckered into the excitement of getting a new car and spending a lot more money than is necessary. The thing is, our car has not been behaving lately. We had to fork out a good $900 just not too long ago to replace an oxygen sensor that had conked and this morning I was told at the service centre that we might have to replace the whole air-con cooling system which will cost us an estimated $2000!
So fix it and move on or should we succumb to temptation? *decisions, decisions, decisions... *
