That's a tough call. If you think you'll be spending a monthly average on repairs that would exceed monthly payments on a new one, I'd buy a new one, but it's hard to predict. Which wheel bearing failed? I ask because my step daughter's 2012 is pretty noisy from the rear compared to my 2016. We have the same tires, but hers are worn significantly more so I wasn't sure if it's her tires or a bearing...
