I have a 01 Ford Ka which I bought second hand a few years ago. Recently the rear lights won't come on. The headlights at the front work fine but the rear lights only work sporadically. There have also been a few times thats locks and windows acted up a bit but nothing major.
I took it to a ford garage and they say the whole electrical system needs to be replaced at a cost of roughtly 1000 euro. I am worried about paying this much to get it repaired as I'm afraid the car will have more problems as the years go by.
This is the first car i ever had so i would appreciate any advice people had about whether it is best to just trade it in and get a newer car? Is there a price range for repair where it just doesn't make sense to repair an older car?
If I'm trading it in what would people recommend as a good small car?
