A year ago I bought my wife a Mazda CX-5 diesel and paid 10K for it. Now I found out that it has an engine defect that will be extremely expensive to repair, so the car is a write-off, at best I can get 2K back.

    If it’s a 5k euro fix on a 10k car, please consider it. Especially if you can get warranty from the repair shop for a few years, it’s still likely cheaper than vehicle payments on a 3-5 year old used vehicle that may have issues still. I’m not saying fix it, or not to, but look at it as costs of transportation and having to buy a new vehicle still.
