Should I sell? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael Krutolow on  Mon Jan 8 12:08 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My 95 850 is at the dealer for 80k service and some other issues:

The following repairs are needed;

New Seat Rails to cure clicking in Seat: $525

New Driver doorlock Assembly

to cure chime and light coming on over bumps: $325

Replace Upper Strut Mounts: $320

Dealer claims rear main is leaking although

no oil drips on my driveway yet: $800

80k service: ~$150

He needs 2 more hrs labor to diagnose:

Hard start condition when hot

Rear ABS sensor codes

Bought the car a year ago, don't particulary feel up to putting >$2k into after in yr. Obviously, the doorlock and seat rails don't need to be done right away, but I'm thinking, I'd rather have a monthly on a new car than put this kind of $$ into it AND make the monthly pmt. So far A/C has no leaks..per dye check and tranny seems to be fine.

Any opinions out ther would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike Krutolow
