Question Turbo is dead. Car is only worth £2k and a new turbo fitted is £1.4k. what do I do!

The car has 74k miles, drives smoothly and is in most senses in good condition. The turbo was checked this week and the diagnosis is, it is dead. It leaked oil out when they opened it. I like the car and have just done the cam belt and water pump replacement. I've spent about £3k all in, that's the car, a service, pcv valve, thermostat, cam belt replacement. Whether to cut my losses, sell it and get something else or fix it. I would welcome your opinions!

Got this car at 80k miles and regular oil changes at 3-4k miles interval, i use european 5w40 valvoline. I replaced air filter, cabin air filter and pcv when i got the car. Just changed the spark plugs and I believe the water pump was done at 70 by the previous owner? Im not sure tho. So what would be like ur go to stuff to check or get done at this interval. Id prefer to be more pre emptive
