The first quote I got for the car was 1200 euros.
The engine repair guy said the repair would cost at least 3000, but the parts are hard to come by and it might take months just to get them. Getting them from the manufacturer would quickly inflate the price. And even if we replace all those parts, it would still prolong car’s life for 3-5 years.
Yes, but it would be as expensive as the car. It is also technically possible to replace a bunch of parts in order to fix it, but they are hard to get and expensive to get from the manufacturer.
Yes, it is something very similar to that.
Might be, might be. Or WellThatSucks if we have one.
The engine doesn’t supply the oil to some of it’s parts properly, so parts like the turbo compressor went bad.
The car is too old for that.
Yes. But to see the defect, one has to remove the underside of the engine which we didn’t do.

Just finished my 260 hour Xendar’s mod playthrough on Factorio.
Thinking of playing Pyanodon’s, but my start is giving me second thoughts.
Fun story: me and my wife kept talking about our nasty neighbour we call “the slug” and she got “Slug removal tips” on her YouTube suggestions.
An average salary is 1250 euros, so it would be possible to save up enough in 3-5 years. Or save enough for a downpayment. However, a house like that would take twice the amount or more to become livable and the location is not the best.
A more decent home would cost between 50-100K, also possible on a mortgage with a decent salary, but not that cheap.
Houses next to big cities can get more expensive, but so do the salaries. Most city people don’t live in houses though, they go for apartments. Some of them are renovated. Mixed use buildings are also common.

cucumber slice with honey is great
bread, butter, cheese and sliced apples is good sometimes
black olives with vanilla ice cream is a good sweet and salty dessert.
BLT is also an abbreviation for a Russian swear word “blyat” which is the appropriate thing to say upon receiving this sandwich.
I am not that old but I know that reference. :)
There is a type of shotgun shell that spits a stream of fire when fired.
The key to what I said was “fringe”, sure, cheap keyboards and guitars, etc. that sound great exist. Less popular instruments that are cheap are a massive gamble.
Why hurt animals when you can just hurt your ears?
Niche musical instruments. A “cheap” hurdy gurdy can cost up to 2000 dollars and still sound like a bag of cats in a washing machine.
Some new recent models that are relatively cheap and sound okay exist now, but you really need to do your research.
Well, my wife still needs to get to work whilst it is getting fixed and the repairs are going to take months. If we choose to repair the car we will not be able to buy a new one so it’s a bit of a Catch-22.
Even if the car was fine, we would be still selling it. She had trouble with parking a car as big as a CX-5, and that car burns a bit too much diesel for her 70 km a day commute.
We are most likely to buy a car that’s at least 10 years old, we can’t afford any better. Probably we will be buying Toyota Auris for about 6K.
