I’ve been crunching some numbers lately on the current cost of engine rebuilds vs. the actual market value of 2015-2018 era cars. With the current shortage of specialized technicians in our region, a simple "Sell my car with engine problems Yorkshire" search is becoming the reality for more people than expected.

I’m part of the team at UKMotorBuyers, and we’ve seen that for many owners, the £2,500+ garage bill just doesn't align with the car's £4,000 "running" value.

Does anyone here have a "tipping point" for when they decide a car is no longer worth the investment? I'm interested to hear how other Yorkshire owners are balancing the rising cost of maintenance against the current high demand for salvage parts.
