is it a good time to get a new car?

right now I have had this used car for 2years. recently I have been feeling unsave driving it because for the past couple of months i had to take it into the shop. something was always wrong with the car and I have grown tired of spending so much money on getting it fixed "temporarily". any ways, I have 19,600 left to pay off this car, my credit is 615, and a car I am looking at is around 22,000. I am thinking about putting 2,000 down. financially, would I be able to get a new car? comparing my credit, how much I still owe and how much the new car is. would do you think?

Update:

want to mention that my car has around 56,000 miles if thats important info

    No. Frakking. Way.

    As long as you owe almost $20K on your current car, you will NOT qualify for another car loan or $20K+.

    You should have done your homework before you bought your current grossly overpriced lemon.

    You can buy many brand new cars for less than what you still owe on that used car.

    You will be burying yourself in more debt. A car with only 56,000 miles should not be in bad shape.

    No it's not a good time. Wait for some time like 5 years, you'll get self driving cars in the market.
