Best Answer

While purchasing a brand new car may seem to be the more expensive option, merely repairing the engine could cost more in the long run. Repairing a car's engine runs the risk of the engine breaking down again and some engines, especially old ones, may be beyond repair and trying to do so would be a waste of money.
