It is the same story for any old creaker.
The repair costs not just in time and monies, its the emotional toll it takes too.
Its funny seeing people on youtube, one guy called Hoovies Garage who keeps buying these old knackers to "rescue" as such, (he loves his cars) and ends up pouring thousands into them! You never get a return, unless you are shrewd and are restoring properly sought after classics.
I probably sunk £1500 odd into refurbishing most of my car, and that was with me doing all the work, lord knows what a garage would have charged.
Problem for is is that the estate car I want is £24k at the moment, and that is silly money to throw at a flaming Passat DIESEL estate, so the ZT will be my motoring companion for some time yet.
