Default Shall I service or replace my car??!!

Hello All, I am glad to join this group and be able to share ideas with all of you.

I own a Lexus IS300 2009 top of range with Radar and all other Lexus fun stuff. My car currently runs 176000 KM and I Have never done any Major service since 128000 KM. the car still runs pretty nice and all features working without any faulty lights. the price of this car in my area never more than 11000 USD with current mileage and condition. if I'll buy another one with 100000 Km it would be around 14000 USD.

The question is shall I do a service for it which may cost around 2000 USD or just let is go and buy another second hand car with lower mileage? If I did a service will this help it run for another 80000 KM or I might just pay and get some failures soon?

Your opinions please.

Well if you've kept up with your maintenance schedule you should be fine for a long time. The problem with just getting a lower mileage car is that you can't be quite sure how the last person took care of it. If you've been good to your car, I'd personally keep it.
