When to cut your losses with a car?

dunno which engine you have, but some 2.0tdi's get recommended  to change at 120k these days, other engines even longer, so if yours has been done once you could be good for a long time. Those engines can be good for 300k+ if looked after, but once I start  having the suspension all renewed, it would change my thinking from hoping it gets written off, to wanting to keep it a few more years.

Ive got an old skoda with loads of miles, but it would cost a lot to replace it with something as comfortable etc

it’s the 2.0tdi and a new timing belt and water pump was fitted at 130k miles so that’s good for a while still. It still gets 10k mile oil changes and had a full system coolant change a year ago. 

Still want to trade it in for a caddy next year though if I can save enough up!

There are probably five or six 2.0TDIs all different.
