To repair or not…evaporator

I have a 2017 XC90 with 100k miles. Have had it for a little over 3 years and have already spent $5k+ in repairs. Random things like worn bushing, control arms all needing repair, fuel filler injector, and a few other internal mechanical things I don’t remember. Now my evaporator and the hose are broken, dealership is quoting around $5,600 to fix it all. I’m between paying it, trading it in and being very upside down (given the big loss in value from the needed repair & only halfway thru my financing), and just riding it out this summer and maybe fixing if it can make it to next summer without another issue.

I love the car and a new one doesn’t make sense but I think I’d lose it if it needs another repair that expensive in next 1-3 years after throwing 10k in. What would you do?
