2 tyres, £140?

Exhaust, £120

Wheel bearing, £100 say?

You would spend more then that sourcing a replacement, easy.

Just fix it  :y

Can get tyres around here £35 each if all you want is rubber on your wheels......

All of those things are basic wear and tear items that will need replacing/repairing regardless of what car you drive.........!!

Keep itif I were you.....!

If you're not keeping it, then you are valuing your car at less than £400 so can I buy it please......!!!!

Misfire probably coil pack? Rear bumper.....£not much.....

Come on mate, keep her, if you cant afford to sort her surely you cant afford to sell her and replace her with something else.....
