After 14 years (270,000km's) and a near trouble-free existence, it's time to bid farewell to my 1998 SW2. Seems a shame, car's in great shape, but the cost of replacing the clutch is $1000 or more, and I just can't seem to justify it.
Remember driving it right out of the showroom at the "retail-location" (remember... not dealerships, since there was no-haggle pricing). 24km's on it.
Now it will only get me $500 from the recycle your ride program against a 2012 Focus (I still can't believe I'm buying a Ford!)
Oh well onward and indebted...
