Sell/Scrap or fix?

Post by redcan76 »

I am having a 'moment' trying to decide what to do with my 1999 406 LX... it has been hit rear passenger side by an idiot that drove away, 3rd part Fire and Theft means I am left to cope with the fix and the cost of fixing :cry: :x

So I reckon that I should scrap it and save the money and put it towards another motor sometime soon, my other half reckons we should try and fix it.
:? :? :? :? :? :? :?

We are having real problems trying to get the parts [see my 2 posts on Suspension help forum] so what is your opinion?

depends on what you feel about the car
the car isnt worth much cash wise but sometimes its not about the money

No sentimental reasons for keeping the car x it's actually more of a money pit than a car, had no luck with it! X
