The math works out very differently if you are a DIY type person or you have to pay somebody for every service / repair.
In my opinion, if you are fairly capable with DIY stuff, almost anything but an accident or (serious) rust is worth fixing. Worst-case single repair (say, engine or transmission replacement) is under $2k, which is 4-5 months car payments on a new car not counting depreciation.
If you like it, keep it running well! (that's a general statement, not specifically to the OP)
