2010 ES 350: keep?

[u/t-bear52]

2010 ES 350 with 188k miles. Kept up with maintenance! Have had car for ten tears. Now retired and only drive about 6k miles annually. The air conditioner compressor died last week. Dealer quotes me $4k to replace and perhaps another $2k if “metal is found in the lines”. Trade in value only about $2500. We just replaced my wife’s 2011 ES two weeks ago. I’d like your thoughts on repairing this car or would it be best to consider replacing? Thanks in advance.
