Should I fix my BMW?
Hi, I have 2006 318i Petrol with 141Km on the clock. I've just got it serviced and I've been informed that it has developed a faulty rear differential bearing. So just wondering if it's worth fixing for circa €2K or if I should really consider changing it ? If the latter any idea what value I would get for my car on trade in ? Tks
Our answer:
Hi Conor,
If the work cannot be done any cheaper, then it's not worth doing, as that's already more than the car is likely to be worth. It's difficult to put a trade-in value on it, even without the issue, as not many dealers will want it. I suspect you'll be offered a few hundred Euro at most.
