My car is a money pit. Has been from day one and continues to let me down ,uch to the amusement of the others who drive german and scoff. IVe spent hundreds in the last year, with over 17 failures.
With the 147 due an mot and cambelt, and the 156 radiator leaking, 'motor control failure' error on the dash, MAF gone, radio not working and upper wishbone, clutch needing to be done and also a cambelt in 7k i could really do without it all before christmas the practicality is rulling the heart for once.
Thing is the car is worth about 1500 tops, if working, not in the current state, and the finance is a year left to pay
Any advice how to get out of the finance?
First option im over the 50% mark so i could give the car back, but it has to be in reasonable condition (bar the clutch, which is not noticeable the rest is obvious) - the dash beeps every time i fire it up
second is i ride it out pour more money on it
Third i pay off the finance early using a credit card, pay off the credit card with the sale of the car once ive had more work done., and go get a new loan for a new reliable car.
Anyone have any legal input to assist? or been in the same dilema?
Ive had to give up the opportunity to drive abroad this year as i just cannot trust the 156 anymore, i EXPECT it to fail each week.
