[QUOTE="Brett Stoner, post: 1010603, member: 71766"] If it was me I would do a cost analysis. Add up the total cost to repair it. Whether you let the dealer do it, find an independent shop, or you and friends fix it. Then subtract that cost from the resale value of a comparable vehicle on autotrader. Then look at how much could you get if you sold the vehicle as is right now. Figure out which is the better deal. Will you get more money fixing it or is the repair too expensive and you are better off selling it. Resale value if fixed - Repair costs = Potential Value vs. Current resale value Of course if you love the vehicle then all bets are off and do it for love not for financial sense. To save money always make friends with mechanics who do side work ( or DIY) and buy your parts on RockAuto.com. [/QUOTE]
