I "think" this is a no brainer; but it's my wife's car that she's very attached to. So, I told her I'd run it by the folks here.
2005 Mini Cooper S, 126,000, 50 of which are on a second (rebuilt) engine. Body sound. Took it in for brake work and inspection. In order to pass inspection, it would need about $2000 worth of work (new brake lines, rotors, etc). The mechanic said it's close to needing tie rod ends, struts and other suspension work (another $2000) but that I could put that off, for now. He also mentioned it's very rusty underneath.
So, $4000 on a car that would still be over 14 years old when the work was complete or use that $4000 as a down payment on a new ride?
Thanks!
