Bought for £5000 in 2004. Have paid out approx. £1300 in repairs costs since then. My local garage says it is worth "nothing" as a trade in. It is an automatic, I need a manual gears car, so I have to trade it in or sell it. You can see why I'm pissed off, no? (approx conversion to dollars, just double all the figures ).
