Hey all,
2008 VE SV6 Wagon. 191,000KM.
So the car had already been giving me some problems with stuttering a lot and sometimes it'd just start running on 5 or maybe 4 cylinders. I got it scanned and it came back with potential faults being spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Then recently I was literally chased for no reason by 2 separate cars full of drunk and/or cracked out idiots at 2am. They forced my car off the road and I crashed into a little island in the middle of the road doing about 70km/h. I didn't get plates or anything so there's nothing I can really do. I've had that checked out now and they're telling me one of my control arms is cooked along with a ball joint and steering knuckle, etc. They're also telling me my front pads and rotors need to be replaced because apparently the pads aren't on correctly and the caliper is seizing.
I've been quoted $2300 for the control arm and joints, etc as well as the front pads and rotors to be replaced. Not to mention the other work that needs to be done with the spark plugs and coils, etc.
Is it even worth fixing all of this at this point or should I just sell it for what I can and buy something else that will hopefully give me less of a headache?
Cheers
