Default Sell it or Keep it?

Dear All,

I need your help and I don't know if I should sell or keep! Cause I asked many guys who have good experience with the cars and I'm lost because of their advices.

I have a new problem in the engine which is there are some parts which allow petrol to flow inside. Those parts are lose and they need to be replaced. In addition they replaced the differential engine.

After the replacement I talked to the service manager and he told me You will get an additional warranty for 6 months on the engine. If something bad happened they will take full responsibility to fix it or replace it.

The advices I got were: Sell the car and get new one cause in the future this engine will be a headache for you. Once the warranty is off you will have to pay lots of money once the problems start to increase.

Some other advices: Keep the car and use it if you get another problem during the warranty fix it and then sell it.

Once I saw the engine was taken out and opened I felt I lost hope in this car and I'm not liking what's going on. Even though I love this car so much...

Help

If you have that many issues with the car, you should just sell it, save up and get a new car. It seems like a big headache and more are on the way. Good luck.

if you felt a loss of hope seeing the engine being taken out, i think you should just get another. although it may not be too ez (the process), it'll prolly be beneficial. and a part out would be hard since many CL members are from the states and you seem to be located nowhere near the states.
