Struts are something you'll have to replace periodically on every car you'll ever own. That's called a "wear" item. The electrical problem is probably worth just fixing. And I wouldn't rush into a new car for tens of thousands of dollars just because the engine MIGHT fail again.

When it does die again I’ll be stuck with no transportation. My car has left me stranded on multiple accounts. I’ve put nearly 10k of work into it and I’ve had it less than 5 years. Every time I take it in (6 months or less) I’m given another 2-3k in repairs. I’ve had mechanics and tow truck drivers tell me it’s a money pit
