Hello everyone. In need of advice:
I’m a 30y/o male, full-time employed in Health. I financed a 2015 MINI Country Cooper S in 2021 that I’m still paying off (I’m about 65% of the way according to ClearScore). I live on a very limited budget.
The thing is, it’s become a problematic car to maintain. It’s out of warranty and has issues with its timing chain, turbo charger and oil issues (not sure what but I frequently have to replace the engine oil..?)
Since I still have an outstanding balance on it, I was wondering if I have any options in getting rid of it (trade-in, selling it, other options I’m not familiar with idk) because I truly cannot afford to fix it - and driving a car on “borrowed time” (before it breaks down) isn’t something I want to entertain.
Any advice will be welcomed. Thanking you all.
