i think you have to realise here that you are actually buying a different car... not a new one. Anything that is over ten years old is probably going to have issues and will probably cost you the same. Genuinely a case of better the devil you know. Youve identified what the issues are with yours so get on and fix them.
The new car arguement is that £99 is cheap... but what are you actually getting for your money? A slow slightly more efficient 108? £99 a month is cheap but its still almost £1200 a year... for which you could buy 2 half decent 306 diesels for. And what kind of spec do you even get for that money? Not a lot i presume. Would you rather spend £1200 on a small eco box that you wont even own... or would you rather have your own car with more spec, good mpg and an epic repair/modification budget. For me its a no brainer!
