Ongoing car advice

Good , that's a start . Now you need to figure what the vehicle is worth and if it makes any sense to spend big bucks on it . I just took a look at Auto trader and a 2003 , 200k Legacy SELLS for about 3500 !!!!!! You can see what your's is worth , given it's condition ( I'm just telling it like it is ) . Now you have some numbers to figure out the next step . Decide if it makes any sense for you and your wife to spend , virtually , the value of the car on a repair . It might , it might not . I wouldn't but I'm not you and in your situation .

Thanks, Teejay. Yes, with its high mileage, I realize it's not worth much. I'd probably only get $1,000 to $1,500 as a trade-in. Our Legacy's body and interior are in good condition, it's these annoying mechanical problems that are the concern.

Cheers, Rob
