This calculator helps you weigh the tough choice of fixing a broken-down car versus trading it in. It's a smart remix that completely overhauls the original logic to account for negative equity and repair financing. However, you'll want to manually account for the remaining interest on your current auto loan, as the model currently leaves that out of the repair costs. It still provides a helpful starting point for comparing the total debt you'd take on under each scenario.
