To buy or not to buy

The band I play supplies instruments for its members which is great in some regards but you basically have to take what they have to offer. My horn is about 30 years old and has not been well looked after. I have worked hard and up to grade 6 but I am encountering some limitations which I think are largely due to the instrument although I am not naive enough to completely blame the instrument. The intonation is all over the place and some days it is all I can do to blow my tuning note in tune. It is really sharp up high which I can readily hear but not flatten enough to play in tune. I love playing and think it is time to purchase my own horn. As an adult I figure I may as well buy the best so it will be a fairly pricey purchase. Should I persist with old but free horn I've been given or should I take the plunge and buy my own?
