That's a pretty hefty bill! The best advice I could give you would be to sell the car or trade it in for something better/ newer. It's your decision of course, and you may really like the car and want to keep it. However, I couldn't recommend spending £2k on repairing it (unless the actual price turns out to be a fair bit lower)!

I appreciate it's your first car, but if I were buying a 7 year old car with 150k miles on the clock, I might be expecting it to need attention to some of the above areas - unless the service & maintenance history could demonstrate otherwise, and even then you can't guarantee that you won't need to spend out on something due to wear and tear...

Good luck with getting it sorted!

I think I really gotta agree with willsvrs.

Unless you could do all the jobs youself or you and maybe a mate. To get rid of about £1000 worth of labour.

Definately NOT worth spending £2K on, it would make more sense to sell it as is and spend some more on a newer, lower mileage car.

Just my opinion of course.

Good luck

still sounds far too much mate tbh, where are you based?
