REPAIR ECONOMICS
Is a £1,500 repair worth it on a £5,000 car?
The percentage gets attention. The cash needed to replace the car can matter more.
MOT DECISIONMy car failed its MOT. Repair it or move on?
Safety comes first. Then compare the full repair with the real cost to change.
OWNERSHIP COSTWhen repeated repairs matter more than one big bill
The trigger can be cumulative repair exposure rather than today's invoice.
SELL STRATEGYRepair before selling or sell as-is?
Do not assume £1 spent on repair adds £1 to the sale price.
CHANGE ECONOMICSWhat does changing car really cost?
The sale price is not the cost of changing.
BETTER EVIDENCEWhen is a second repair quote worth getting?
When a different number could change the route.
AS-IS SELLINGCan I sell a car with a major fault?
Yes in many cases, but the important question is what the fault does to the executable offer.
