My fiance owes around $7,000 on a 2001 Subaru Forrester. The transmission has been acting up for a while and finally gave out yesterday. He brought the car to a mechanic, who estimated the damages at a minimum of $2600 and has said there is a possiblity when they open the system that more things may need to be replaced. With a few other problems (electrical, etc), total repair for the car could be around $4,000. We are trying to decide what the best option is. Some things we are considering-Buying a cheaper used car, saving for the repair and selling the Forrester after repaired (to recoup some cost) or selling it as is and taking a loss. Has anyone experienced a similiar problem when the cost of a repair borders the value of the car and a significant amount is owed? Any recommendations?
I should add the car is high mileage (around 120,000) because he drives for work. It had also been in an accident about 2 years ago, but was repaired completely. The current problems are not related to that, but I know this will have an effect on the value of the car and whether or not it may be worth fixing.

because there is no guarantee that the repair will be the last time the vehicle must be repaired, I recommend you spend the money on deposit for a new vehicle and the sale of the old framework of an “as is” condition.Bonne luck!
We agree to that. He paid about $ 1,200 for the transmission of employment after the possession of a 2nd hand car for 33 days. Not good! Anyway, after 3 years of driving the plunger of **** finally bought another 2nd hand car and more expensive. Now I’m paying for new cars (which had its share of problems) and continue to pay for old cars in the same temps.Donc is more or less what I’m trying to say. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1) spend money on fixing properly and 2) if you do happen to buy a car, make sure it is new and has never been driven or just find a new set of headaches and more bills that has come so far.
What exactly is the reason for taking a mechanical failure in a used car is a good investment. Your vehicle can be repaired boyfriend for one hundred deductible dollars.Dans this case, you could have $ 11,000 invested in an age voiture.Votre decision should be based on some facts of what base.Est Subaru-mileage? If the probability of needing repair remains high. If your credit is sufficient, the solution is to buy another car with the Hulk as a profession. basicilly be reversed, but if you had two large, must serve five years in your new purchase and pay more than temps.Si you have the money to repair the Subaru, you can use this money to pay the difference between the trade in value and the cost of another car.

If anywhere near the center of Ma No, my mechanic to fix a major part of which includes a new clutch in the case of a manual. It only works at Subaru. He could do in his sleep, probably. I have 2 Subaru.
Because you still owe money, it may be preferable to fix the vehicle. In this way, since you still making payments, at least you can use. And you get a new transmission out of it. As for the blue book value. If the car is not worth everything you need and still trying to sell as is, you will not get the blue book value because it is below. It’s a 2001, so not too terribly old. If you buy a car cheaper to use, ie not ending in the same situation in a month or two. If you decide to sell the vehicle and do not receive the $ 7,000 you still owe, you’re in the hole in the vehicle and pay someone else who can give the same problems if not more because it is used and less expensive. My advice would be to keep the same vehicle, repair and get a new transmission out of it. And after he finished paying $ 7,000, you can even choose to sell the list to have a new transmission, which could make some extra money for it. Also, take your vehicle to other places to get a second opinion and make sure that the first garage is not seeking money from you. Good luck and I hope this helps your decision.
for $ 2,600, you should be able to install a used tranny. can live with others or solve problems on the cheap? is always a difficult decision, but must be set since its not much better. I would say at the prices of other stores. key to avoiding dealer if you can, their prices are almost as shops privés.Je know of a case in which an Acura dealer wanted almost 3 to repair a major fuel leak. final cost in a private store was $ 125.
