Should I fix my Ford Focus or trade it in?
I own a 2006 Ford Focus estate with 165,000 miles on the clock. I’ve been told the car needs a new duel mass fly wheel, which will cost approximately £800. I estimate the car to be worth £1200. Is it worth fixing the fly wheel or trading it in for another lower mileage focus?

It's not worth it, I'd recommend trading it in and getting something else.
