Hi all
I need some advice on what i should do with my car, a 1.4 vauxhall astra merit L reg. I'm coming to the end of my industrial placement and i'll be going back to university at the end of september. Since finishing my placement i could live without my car although it makes going out a bit of a pain since i live more than 6 miles from the nearest bus route Also in the last 3 weeks or so i've spent nearly £300 on my car to keep it running till the end of my placement, things i've had replaced are alternator, front anti roll bars, front part of exhaust and the ignition amplifier or something like that. This morning it sounds like the exhaust needs some more work doing to it, so i'll need to take it to the garage to get it sorted which is more expense.
I can bike to the local bus stop and leave my bike and get changed at my gran's although she doesn't like me doing that because she worries about me biking Also she got me the car to stop me biking. If people do suggest i sell, i can't see anyone wanting to buy it since it's done more than 125K miles, it has rust in places (on a white car doesn't look good) and the drivers seat has a tear in it. If i do keep it, i'll only be using it on uni holidays to get to work and go out occasionally.
Edit: I have a gym membership at york untill the end of September, i'm going to the gym 4 days a week, and i can't get to the gym without my car. I think thats all the information i need to base my decision on.
So should i sell my car or keep it, bearing in mind i probably won't buy another car?
Thanks
Andy
