yeah i know the feeling mate, mum and did have a VW Polo, and its been in the family from new. They are really attached to it, i think because it was the first car they bought brand new, and the car that all us kids learned to drive in etc. Its a 99 model, its had the head and the clutch replaced over its life and in the last 12ish months the rear brakes went on it so in went new assemblies and drums, $1000. next went 5th gear, $750 for box + $600 labour. the car isnt even worth that but they want to keep in on the road and not just get rid of it. so now they are in over their heads and its worth more to them than whats it could be sold for. they are of the mentality that eventually it will run out of things to break lol.Originally Posted by Bloodyaussie
i sounds like your there mate, so you might as well make good of what you have and forge on with the direction your headed. at least you know everything else is sound in it and your not just inheriting someone elses problems if you buy another car. good luck with it all matey.
