Randle P McMurphy Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Thinking about trading in my car for another in a few months time. The car I have is mechanically sound and is MOT'd to Sept next year however there are a couple of things that need sorted out. The heater only works at max setting, the air con doesn't work at all and there is a minor dent at the rear. Question is do I bother getting these repairs done or will it make no difference at trade in. I reckon the repairs will cost a couple of hundred and similar cars for private sales are going for around ?1500ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Maroonblood Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 heater not working will be the resistor bout ?30-?60. if the the air will need regased bout ?50. take it to a polish run bodyshop cheap maybe ?60-?80 for the dent If the a/c is not working it could be a lot of things and could cost up to ?300 to repair. The time involded could take about 3 hours if the dashboard and steering wheel has come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
