Keep in mind its a 12 year old vehicle with almost 300 km showing and a '' grenade '' engine . We all know to well these things have issues. goodluck with it . I think you need it . if maintenance costs are an issue now then get this issue fixed and trade it in , cut your losses and move on . I am scared for you reading what you have posted thus far , your wallet and sanity will be damaged if you persist .JMO.
