Repair or Buy Appliances

I just had a dryer quit on me in a single family dwelling.  This one is actually the house I used to live, so I have a bit more background on the unit.  I know the dryer is over 6 years old (was there when I moved in).  It had an issue when I moved in and I spent aproximately $180 repairing it about 6 years ago.  This is a different issue this time.  It runs, but it doesn't heat up.  

I'd like to see what people think on a few questions...

Would you repair or buy?

If you would buy, would you buy new or try to find something on craigslist (or similar)?
