I own a 1969 Beetle and love it to bits.
Unfortunately it has not worked for a while and i’m currently trying to MOT it. So far it has cost me £400 (i’m not including the hundreds i’ve spent on it in the past) and have now discovered it’s gunna need at least another £100 worth of work doing just to be able to MOT it.

I am a pregnant full time student and i have pretty much just lost my part time job. Money is tight.

Do i just pay my mechanic for work done so far and cut my losses and try and sell her un MOTed (max i could probably get for her is around £600- she’s a good looking bug), or do i pay the extra £100 (maybe more), and live on baked beans for a month, MOT her, then sell her (for bout £1,000) and use the money for a more reliable (but boring) car?
Or do i pay the extra, and keep her and hope nothing else goes wrong before baby comes??

I love my little bug, but times are hard I am 25 years old
