Hi, my car Turbo is damaged and costs £1000 to fix it. it is a second hand car and I have spent a lot on it already for repairs. my car warranty company inspected the turbo and said it is damaged due to oil flow interruption to the turbo and since it is not a mechanical failure, they won't pay for it. I recently paid £1400 for head gasket repair and the garage did a poor job and they failed to check the Turbo and I started getting whining noise from the car while driving the car after repair, but they said nothing wrong with what they have done and after driving for around 200 miles Turbo failed and the noise was because of the Turbo. the garage is failing to accept responsibility saying no fault has occurred in what they fixed.
I bought the car for £3600 less than two years back from a dealer and spent nearly £3000 for repairs so far (clutch and dual mass flywheel, head gasket and timing belt and other miscellaneous repairs). I would like to know how much my car is worth now. is it worth selling it after fixing it or just selling it as it is? if I want to sell as it is, how can I do that, because it is not in a driveable state? it is Ford Focus 2003 diesel car and mileage is 71K. I am moving abroad after six months and don't want to make huge investment on another car right now and the problem is if I buy another cheap used car, there is no guarantee that will be a reliable one either, I may have to pay more for repairs if that turns out to be bad and don't want to make the situation worse.
