Daily Driver Help!
First of all dont laugh!!
I have own my daily for around 6 year and it has been amazingly good to me, never let me down at all in 90k
it's a Pug 307 HDI in Gold :lmao:
these cars are selling for 1k or less so pritty worthless
now my dilemma is this:
It is getting on a bit now 51 plate 120k and its getting very rough, the clutch is on it's way out, the cat is held together with a bean tin, an abs sensor has gone, needs a service, MOT in April
![:(](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/sad.png)
so do a spend abit of money on it to last another year, i reckon around 500 to 1k to fix all
do i fix the abs and sell it for cheap money and get another motor
or break it
also i'm flat out stink atm
what you lot reckon! :dontknow:

As your original post, its either stick with it or start again with something a lot newer. If moneys tight is it a good idea to be spending £4000+ on a newish motor?
