I’ve been weighing my options as I’ve fallen on some very bad luck and I wanted to put my feelers out to a community that treasures these cars instead of treating them as an unrepairable money pit.
I was wondering what you guys think the car is worth.
Issues: CEL for O2 sensors and misfire. German independent shop wanted to replace injectors, carbon clean and replace all but 1 o2 sensors (already replaced one 4K miles ago)
Also the car “overheats” at random. The only reason overheats is in quotes is that if the car is shut off for 60 seconds and I start it back up it is at normal operating temperature. I’m suspecting a coolant temp sensor.
The car has 80,000 miles and is super clean. I just 3 staged and ceramic coated the paint. Even with the CEL the car runs and drives great, I’ve just pulled it off the road to avoid the issues starting to snowball.
My only other option is to hang on to the car until I get it paid off and fix it when I have time and then sell it but by that time I don’t feel like I will want to get rid of it due to its depreciation in value.
I wish I could keep the thing but my job was eliminated and my salary is almost half what it was.
