Smart car repairs: When is the investment worthwhile?

Over time, cars can require expensive repairs, and the question of when a repair makes sense depends on various factors. Mileage alone is not a clear-cut criterion, as it can vary depending on the type of vehicle and its conditions. Driving style and maintenance condition also play a role. The 100,000 kilometer mark is often cited for psychological reasons, as cars with slightly fewer kilometers can achieve a higher selling price. However, with high mileage and low vehicle value, certain repairs may no longer make economic sense, as the costs exceed the value of the vehicle. It is recommended to part with an older car in the event of major damage, as long as the emotional value does not outweigh the economic value
