Long story short, I’m looking for options please as to what you think.
Sisters car broke down. Garage said she needs a replacement xyz (can’t remember the ins and outs so abc & xyz is used) it will £1050. Sister agrees.
They call back and says it still won’t start so now needs another part repaired abc £400. Sis asks if that’s everything and the person says yes that’s it. Sister agrees thinking that’s it and its cheaper than a new car.
Mechanic has phoned her saying that abc can’t actually be repaired. It can’t be replaced either as her car is no longer made (2009 reg with 69k miles on clock)
It’s basically a write off so she’ll need to by a new car.
Where the heck does she stand regarding this payment? They did replace and fix the first part for over a grand but the car isn’t drivable or sellable so worthless.
She’s hardly got any money - probably wouldn’t pass the finance check so not sure what she’ll do.
Surely she can’t be expected to pay over a thousand on a car that is going to be scraped…… WTH would you do?
