Need advice!

I have a 2007 c230 with 165k miles, the front bumper needs to be replaced, it's got an accident on the car fax, the check engine light is on (just took it to my mechanic and he said the intake manifold is bad so that's abour $1,600)

Long story short been looking at the 2015 c300 and the msrp is around 52k the dealer valued my trade at $3,500.

What kind of deal is realistic to offer back to the dealer? Would you get the car repaired or get a new one?

Don't waste any money for repairs.
