Basis (applies to both)
These three are the same no matter which path you pick — same driver, same gas, same window of time — so they live here, once.
Fix the 2019 Escape — repairs
A 191,000-km car doesn't cost the same to keep at 260,000. This rate compounds the upkeep here and the lost time below, every year.
The replacement unit carries 91,000 km and limited warranty — parts & labour only; the days off the road are counted below.
Old car — the cost off the invoice
When the car dies, both drivers lose the day — and an out-of-town breakdown adds a tow, a rental, and a wrecked trip. These days climb with the aging rate above. A reliable newer vehicle carries none of this. Set the day values to $0 to see pure out-of-pocket cash.
Buy / lease a new vehicle
Dealer 1 quote: $210.21 biweekly, tax in, 60-month lease ($3,000 cash down, 36% residual / $15,856 buyout, 6.29%). The 48-month alternative is $226.92 biweekly (41% residual / $18,058). Enter the dealer payment to drive this exactly; set it to 0 to compute from price, rate, and term.

Cost over time
Payment, insurance, fuel, upkeep — and the old car's lost time — averaged per month over the period.
Estimates only, in Canadian dollars, for planning. A leased path owns nothing at the end (the buyout is the option to keep it). Confirm every dealer figure before deciding — not advice to buy, lease, or repair any specific vehicle.
