Selling a faulty car
Discussion
I have a 2016 Vauxhall Astra that has had an engine failure and requires a rebuilt / reconditioned engine - it seems to be a fairly common fault with this engine. I want to replace the car with something more interesting, so will be looking to sell it or trade it in.
Is it better to get the engine rebuild done myself, or sell it in its current state? Would a dealer regard a faulty car as more trouble that it's worth, or as a chance to get the engine rebuild done by a company that they know and trust? It seems that most engine rebuilders give a non-transferable warranty, so feels like a waste to get the work done and then invalidate the warranty by selling the car.
