Well it seems pretty terminal to me.
The 2001 Kangoo +150,000 miles has finally collapsed on the drivers side rear and it appears as though the Torsion Rod system has fractured right in the wheel. estimated cost for renewal/replacement plus shock absorbers etc is +£600 which is a lot more than the car is worth. I used it for transporting small machinery (lawnmowers etc) around and I no longer do this and I do not really need two cars. There is the rub
I will be left with the QP only and am wondering if this is a wise position to be in. The Renault did all the mundane mileage and it owed me nothing given its history.
I no longer do the miles I used to and the QP is insured for up to 5000 miles p.a.. It has presently clocked up 63,000 miles
Insurance and Tax refunds would be forthcoming if I scrap the Renault
So should I fix the Renault or replace it with a banger and unknown problems or just have the QP?
Decisions decisions
Thoughts are welcome
