I have a Honda Civic ferio 2005 . The car has been diagnosed with steering rack issue which needs replacement. The service guy in Honda was insisting me to replace it with a new steering rack which I think is too expensive. He said old or second hand steering racks may or may not solve the problem. The car has run 104509kms. Is it worth repairing the car or dump it to buy a new second hand imported one ?

Hi there,
This is a tricky decision often faced where repairs will cost more than the car is worth.
Often it is a case of do I spend $1500 to repair a $4k car vs what it's worth unrepaired, when it's all added up, and the hassle factor of attempted repairs, often the best decision can be to let someone else repair it.
