So no update on the car. Wonder what happens if they cant fix it? I guess I'd have to tell them to buy it off me. its 8 years old with 140k km on it, it cant just die. Grappling with the ethics of IF they fix it, how do I sell it? I looked into just selling it direct to car sales, they only offered me 13k, and I paid 19.5k for it at the start of the year. Feel a bit dodge selling it privately knowing its issues.

at this point a $13k old car with limited safety features feel more reliable than yours

Oh no, its not a reliability issue. There is NO reliability. The thing is fucked. I just gotta get it running well enough to sell it. Trouble is selling a 18-19k car for only 13k is a difficult pill to swallow. Least of all for the bank who still have a 15k claim to the car.
