大冬天過後,我給小老婆做了體檢,發現以下問題:
1. Lower radiator core support rotted. Mid Engine support is dropping low.
2. 兩邊的CV boot裂了,在漏grease。
3. AC不冷,一年前發現dryer O ring 漏,換過dryer,這次給AC係統加了UV dye, 沒發現有漏的,猜問題有可能是AC expansion valve.
去body shop估了價,換radiator support,大約要500-700刀。我自己可以對付其餘的問題。小老婆其他的還行,隻是年齡(1999)和mileage高 (206K),市價大約1500刀,打了廣告,有人網上還了個1000刀。哎,1000刀能幹什麽? 隻夠2-3月的car payment。真的有點不舍得把小老婆嫁出去, 但是要把這些都給修好,part+labor+diy time大約在1000刀,probably not worth it. So I am a bit confused.
So when do you guys normally get rid of your clunkers?
