Morning all.
I own a 280e and I'm told the reverse clutches are worn out, it slows to a halt or stops suddenly when in reverse. I've been quoted 500-600 quid to put this right.
Now, the car cost me 700 quid in January this year, I had to spend 900 quid on the wiring loom in February (which made me very cross) and I've done 15,000 miles in it so far. It's a bit tatty with the dings and scratches that come from living in central London but I have to admit I'm quite fond of it.
So my dilemma is this: Do I throw money at a fairly tatty car or do I cut my losses and look for a better nick 124 with the possibility that I'll just have to go through it again?
Note I haven't added an option to get a car that isn't a 124. I'm hooked
