Do you find that having an old car makes servicing & repairing expensive? I have a car that is 13 years old & it is getting to the stage where the repairs are going to cost more than the car is worth, the engine is sound & gives no trouble it is everything else that is starting to go wrong. At what point do you give it up as a bad deal?

depends on what really needs doing, if something actually breaks then its going to cost, but servicing etc you can do yourself, or use a local indy garage to do it. stay well away from main dealers.

what can you live with going wrong?? things like electric windows, seats etc won't affect the car, and wont stop it passing an mfk, so can you live without them?
