I don't know your location, but you can probably pick up a used one in the same or better condition for cheaper than you can repair this one. Depending on where you get it from an extended warranty may only add a small amount to the price. That's if you're concerned.

Overall, my experience with repairs hasn't been great. Either it's expensive or a year or so later it breaks for the same thing again. YMMV.

With the current condition he describes, the only way is to buy another car. Fixing it will definitely cause more damage.
