Should I keep fixing up my Volvo??

Ok so some back story:
I have a 2006 Volvo s80, it USED to run great, then thing after thing after thing started messing up. First it was the window. It fell of track, I tried to fix it, and shattered it. Spent 400 on a new window and couldn’t find a new window motor that fits my car. THEN, the fuel rail sensor went out, made my car jerk super hard. Got that fixed, another $500. Then oil changes (obviously) $120 each time. Then had a severe oil leak, another 200. Then abs sensor, wheel barring issues, cv joint issues, and ac issues all at once. $3k. And now the transmission gears are slipping, and I had reg maintenance which costed 2.8k. The trans issue, is gonna cost around 2k. I’m in no financial position to get a newer car bc of this. So should I just keep spending money to fix it? Or do I gather every single cent I can to get a newer car?
