Hi folks.
I have an 02 (new shape) Range Rover HSE.
I bought it for £10,000 about eight months ago, and have already forked out over £2000 in repairs.
I have now been told that I need a new water pump, and potentially (in the near future, maybe up to a year) need a new tranmission. The likely costs for these seem be £500 and £2000 respectivley.
It has about 125k miles on it.
I have been offered £5000 as a trade in by VW, on a new car.
I am going to have to get the water pump done, as it wont drive, but I am looking for your thoughts as to whether to take the trade in, or to keep it, in the hope (perhaps vain) that I can get all the bits sorted on it.
I love the car, and would hate to take a £7000 knock on it already......but at the same time, I dont have an endless supply of cash on it.
