IS it worth replacing gearbox on 2009 Fabia of 124,000 miles?

Featured Replies

Hello, 

 

I have a 2009 Fabia since new doing roughly 8,000 a year and now with 124,000 on the clock.  The gearbox requires major work or replacement that would probably cost £500 to £600.  Is this worth doing considering the miles of the car?

 

Thank you very much

 

Welcome.

If you want to keep the car and not buy another one. 

How much would you have to spend to buy another car and them maybe still have to spend on repairs. 

You know the car you have.

Depends on which Fabia you have I guess...

I just paid £3200 for my 2009 Fabia. I know what I would be doing.

Well the car is probably still worth ~£3_000 so yes.

Borderline in that case since you can get strong money for it as a spares/repairs listing on the bay...

Got a gearbox with 54,000 miles on it and it goes in on Monday.  Thank you all for your help and replies.   It will be good to have the trusty Fabia on the road again.
