Hi folks-am in a bit of a dilemma..I have a 2010 Mazda 6 2.2td TS., which I bought in spring 2012 with 52000 miles. There is 92500 miles on the clock, but in June 2013 the car needed an engine change at 62000 miles due to a catastrophic drop in oil pressure,which wrecked the big end bearings.I sourced an identical engine with 7000 miles on it-it came from a technical write off of a Company car.
Three years later,my car is running fine, has passed NCTs and been serviced at a Mazda garage with no issues. I have 2 questions..
1. Given the service history,how much is the car worth, and following on from that,
2 Should I just stick with the car until it dies of old age? like I said, the car has given no trouble since the engine change, so i dont really need to change up, just fancy a change..
