need not buy a new guitar, just don't use that trem.

if die die must use, go install the lock nutz.( limited solution, might still go outta tune if your trem is problem)

I assume you're using a vintage tremolo? What guitar are you using? Because low-end tremolos always suffer from instability. I liked everything about my lower-end Ibanez but in the end I hardtailed my tremolo. It went out of tune once in a while then (was quite reliable though nothing impressive), but now it almost barely goes out of tune.

If its a vintage tremolo, like those on a Fender Stratocaster, you can hardtail it easily by inserting two high-tension springs to the back. A very affordable solution. But if its a double-locking tremolo like on an Ibanez RG, you have to install Tremol-no or Freelok.

If you don't want to hardtail it, then you might wanna consider replacing the tremolo entirely. But before you do that, bring your guitar to a guitar shop and ask them to try to fix the problem, because sometimes it can be fixed.

Hope this helps!

What model is your Ibanez? Depending on the bridge, you can easily DIY. You can also bring it to Mike @ Standard Value.
