But is it all fixed, or do you anticipate that 1300 pounds/3 years will be representative of on-going maintenance costs for the old car?

And what would your car payment be for the trade-in vehicle?

What's fixed is fixed - who knows what'll go wrong next?!
I have to get rid of this one (automatic gears) and get a manual. So I'm currently weighing up the options. When I bought this one I intended to drive it into the ground, but my circumstances have changed ... Argh.
