To sell or not to sell??

    Hi guys I bought a 2006 VW passat 1.9TDI with 117000miles for €4700 a year ago. When I bought the car the timing belt and water pump were already done and also the wishbones. As my situation with work has changed I have no real need for a diesel as now I'm only driving around town now. I was considering selling the car and buying a reliable small petrol engine car. In the last couple of weeks both electronic handbrake calipers seized up and I replaced both of them at a cost of €610. In resent times I also noticed that a slight vibration comes into the car intermittently now and again, so my guess the DMF is on the way out. I know when replacing the DMF they will also replace the clutch while there at the DMF but all this will cost over €1000. So my question is do ye think I should trade/sell and get a small petrol engine car now or hang onto the passat now that I've spent €610 on replacing the calipers but also have the risk of replacing the DMF down the line.

    Any advise?
