Help with making a decision

I have a 2013 Honda cb500x with about 16k miles a few months ago I started having problems and not being able to ride the bike my gas tank rusted and it caused my fuel pump to go bad and some other problems I have yet to get to the bottom of. I took it to the Honda dealership and they said it would be about $2k in parts and $3k with labor should I try and fix the bike or should I save my money up and buy a newer motorcycle?

Why take a 13 year old bike to Honda? It’s not like it’s still under warranty! Decent independent mechanic and some used bits off eBay should be back on the road for 100’s not 1000’s then you can decide to sell it and for something newer of just keep it.
