Hello /r/personalfinance

I've been driving a 1998 Chevy Lumina since I was 16 years old (19 now), and I've put roughly $1800 in repairs to it since then. My last big issue was a slight gas leak and I took it to a shop, which they refused to work on the car. I took to a family friend who works on cars, and after he was finished replacing several parts it ended up being $1200 as well as rigging up my gas tank so it would stop leaking. He told me it was the worst jobs he's ever done and he's worked on cars for 20 years now.

Recently, I got gas and a clamp or something broke and now my car leaks a fair amount of gas as well as my engine light is on. Should I take it to a shop and see an estimated price and get it fixed? Or just look into buying a new car.

Both my parents are pushing for new car, possibly a 2 year lease. Personally I would rather fix it for cheap if I can and buy a motorcycle I have been saving up for. However, I still need a car to get me through the winter and my 1 hour commute to school starting in 2 weeks. Right now, work is not an issue as I can get a ride with my dad.

I have a little over $5000 saved up after saving all summer which I planned on spending on a bike after the winter. But with school starting I will only be working 24 hours a week on average and won't be making to much money. I know I'm going to spend quite a bit of money on a new car, just curious to reddits advice on my situation.

Fix current car? Get a 2 year lease? Or buy another used car?

Thanks for any advice you guys give me, I did read a few other threads and will go continue to read more now for some advice.
<bot>: Put roughly $1800 into 98' Chevy Lumina over past few years, recently having more issues. Have money saved, do I go for fixing it, a used car, or a 2 year lease?
