Brother-in-law has a Hyundai Veracruz reportedly with 210k. Year unknown but AFAIK the latest model was 2012. From what sister-in-law says, it needs $12k in repairs, starting with an engine rebuild. I know used vehicles aren’t cheap but if it were mine at this point I’d replace it. Curious to know what other folks think. ---

Unless doing the job as a hobby, me, I wouldn’t rebuild the engine. Too many unknowns. If transmission ok, I’d install a used engine, or move the vehicle on. ---

$12 in repairs on a vehicle with more than 200k miles and over 10 years old??? No way! Either find a cheaper solution, or sell it as-is as a “mechanic special” and buy something else. ---

Good time to walk away from this one $12K is a lot to put into a high mileage car ---

I could buy two used cars for that amount. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/6/2/62d82be90110e2850424448e228d559aa6f8c62a.jpeg) ---

Thanks everyone. Now I can send dear brother-in-law a link to this discussion so he doesn’t have to take my word for it. I’d like to sell him my Corolla since I know its history and condition. ---

No idea but the fact that he’s even remotely considering spending that kind of money on this particular vehicle means he needs it IMHO.
