Car {more than|greater than} {likely|doubtless|possible|probably|seemingly} "{dead|lifeless|useless}", what are my {options|choices}? My (my husbands- posting on his behalf) Audi A4 2011 2.0T {just|simply} crapped out. 15k to get repaired. 3k. {It's not|It is not|It isn't} {worth|price|value} fixing, is it? What {do we|can we|will we} do {about the|concerning the|in regards to the} {loan|mortgage}? Any suggestions {would be|can be|could be} appreciated! What the hell broke that {costs|prices} 15k? The {thing|factor} that makes it run - the engine. Checked you {post|publish|put up|submit} {history|historical past}, get it out of the dealership ASAP. Find an {independent|impartial|unbiased} mechanic who specialises in euro trash. Fix it as cheaply as {you can|you may|you possibly can|you'll be able to} and {try and|attempt to|try to} {trade|commerce} it in on a Camry. As {someone|somebody} who抯 been {in the|within the} auto {industry|business|trade} for {around|round} 20 years, {trust|belief} me {when i|after i|once i} say don抰 {buy|purchase} second hand euro shit {boxes|bins|containers|packing containers}. I agree. European {cars|automobiles|vehicles} are {garbage|rubbish}. I {have no idea|do not know|don't know} why {they have|they've} a {reputation|fame|popularity|repute|status} for superior engineering. Because {when they|after they|once they} work their flawless. Yep. {When they|After they|Once they} don抰 work, bend over and hope for some spit.
Getting it towed out {today|as we speak|at present|at the moment|at this time|immediately|in the present day|right now|right this moment}, going to an {independent|impartial|unbiased} with {amazing|superb|wonderful} {reviews|critiques|evaluations|opinions} and our {past|previous} mechanics {recommendation|advice|suggestion}. I {definitely|positively|undoubtedly} like {the idea|the concept|the thought} of fixing it and {trading|buying and selling} it. I'm over European {cars|automobiles|vehicles}! I (the {wife|spouse}) had a {damn|rattling} {smart|good|sensible} {car|automobile|automotive} that {cost|price|value} a ridiculous {amount|quantity}. {Happy with|Pleased with|Proud of} my Hyundai now. {The only|The one} time {I would|I might|I'd} {do this|do that} {is if|is that if} it was a single {owner|proprietor} that I knew. {A lot of|A number of|A variety of|A whole lot of|Loads of|Lots of|Numerous|Plenty of|Quite a lot of} the European {vehicles|automobiles|autos} {really|actually} {don't|do not} {respond|reply} {well|effectively|nicely|properly} to Canadian weather and {if you|for those who|if you happen to|in case you|in the event you|should you|when you} skip any of the routine {maintenance|upkeep} they {wear|put on} out {faster|quicker|sooner} than {you would|you'd|you'll} {believe|consider|imagine}. If I'm getting {something|one thing} from a dude {I know|I do know} has been {looking after|taking care of} it {at least|a minimum of|at the least|at the very least|no less than|not less than} {I know|I do know} what I'm getting myself in for. I {got|acquired|bought|obtained|received} a second-hand Volkswagen from a buddy at work. {I really|I actually} appreciated the {gas|fuel|gasoline} mileage that it {got|acquired|bought|obtained|received}. That and the dude at {the base|the bottom} {garage|storage} was {very good|excellent|superb} at {working on|engaged on} European {cars|automobiles|vehicles} as he was a {bit of|little bit of} an aficionado.
{I am|I'm} {surprised|shocked|stunned} {no one|nobody} {suggested|advised|instructed|prompt|recommended|steered|urged} r/personalfinance. That {would be|can be|could be} {a better|a greater} place to ask this {question|query}. I {honestly|actually|truthfully} {can't|cannot} {answer|reply} your {question|query} {better|higher} than PF can {but|however} {I will|I'll} take a stab. {I would|I might|I'd} see {what kind of|what sort of} lemon {laws|legal guidelines} your state has {and i|and that i} {would not|wouldn't} {fix|repair} the {car|automobile|automotive}. Good {idea|concept|thought} I'll {post|publish|put up|submit} there too. F us on it. That's {the general|the final|the overall} consensus from {most people|most individuals} haha. Whoops. Getting it towed elsewhere {today|as we speak|at present|at the moment|at this time|immediately|in the present day|right now|right this moment}. Does your auto {policy|coverage} have {a warranty|a guaranty}? {You can|You may|You possibly can|You'll be able to} {always|all the time|at all times} {buy|purchase} {another|one other} {car|automobile|automotive} now and get the Audi repossessed. Yes- {I mentioned|I discussed} that farther down. {They will|They are going to|They may|They'll} {only|solely} {cover|cowl} {a little|a bit|a bit of|a little bit|just a little|slightly|somewhat}. Try {to find|to search out|to seek out} {another|one other} {extended|prolonged} {warranty|guarantee} {that might|that may|which may} {cover|cowl} it? {Not sure|Undecided|Unsure} how {it will|it can|it is going to|it should|it would|it'll|it's going to} work for {existing|current|present} {issue|challenge|concern|difficulty|problem|situation|subject}. Maybe {dealer|seller|supplier|vendor} sells one. No {harm|hurt} in asking, I'll look in to that. By {and large|and enormous|and huge} {you're going to|you are going to} pay {more|extra} into {extended|prolonged} warranties than {you will|you'll} in fixing {something|one thing}. That {and they|and so they|they usually} hoops they make you {jump|bounce|leap|soar} {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} to not void the {warranty|guarantee} {can be|could be|may be|might be|will be} very inconvenient {and costly|and dear|and expensive}. {For example|For instance} some make you get {all your|all of your} oil {changes|adjustments|modifications} {and service|and repair} {done|accomplished|achieved|carried out|completed|executed|finished|performed} {at the|on the} dealership {where|the place} they {charge|cost} twice the going {rate|charge|fee|price}.
Getting an oil change from the {shop|store} down the {road|highway|street} will void the {warranty|guarantee}. You're {better|higher} off setting some {money|cash} {aside|apart} {every|each} month for {things|issues} like this {instead|as a substitute|as an alternative} of going for the {extended|prolonged} {warranty|guarantee}. Sorry {just|simply} {saw|noticed} {the other|the opposite} half of this, we {were|had been|have been} {told|advised|informed|instructed} his {security|safety} clearance {would be|can be|could be} {at risk|in danger}. Repossession stays on the {record|document|file|report} for 7 years.. {If you|For those who|If you happen to|In case you|In the event you|Should you|When you} let it get repod, {you're still|you are still} on the hook for the {balance|stability|steadiness} of the {loan|mortgage}. Plus the repo {fee|charge|payment|price}. The {bank|financial institution} {isn't|is not} going to {let you|allow you to} {transfer|switch} the title {until|till} they get their {money|cash}, so scrapping it {isn't|is not} going to {happen|occur}. If {you can get|you may get|you will get} it {running|operating|working} on {the cheap|a budget}, and use it for {trade|commerce} in, {you'll|you may|you will} {have to|must|need to|should} roll {the amount|the quantity} due into the {loan|mortgage} on {the new|the brand new} {car|automobile|automotive} and {quite|fairly} frankly, good luck with that. That {depends on|depends upon|is dependent upon|is determined by|relies on|will depend on} what your {other|different} mechanic says. 3k {from your|out of your} {warranty|guarantee}.
