Should I sell my 2013 Hyundai iMax because it's problematic?
By Graham Smith · 23 Mar 2018

My 2013 Hyundai iMax has lost power. It's been at Hyundai's dealership for a week now and they tell me it’s an EGR valve and cooler. I've heard a lot about injector seals leaking, blowing turbos and engines. My diesel mechanic recommends you change seals every 80,000 km and mine is at 100,000 km. A turbo parts company has also told me I should replace a hose (can't remember were in engine it is) that the oil runs through and put a filter on it to catch any crap that may flow through. I'm still not confident that there won't be a problem with the turbo blowing. Warranty runs out in another five months. Do I keep it, or do I sell it? I'd like to know what you've heard about these issues.

I am selling a 1987 Mazda 323 manual that has a blown head gasket. What is a fair price to ask? The car is in good condition for age, the body is in good shape, there are a few dents, but it’s not rusted through, the vinyl seats do have tears.

Will the transmission problems of the Ford Focus affect its value?
By Graham Smith · 09 Mar 2018

I bought a 2012 Ford Focus Sport in mid-2014 for $17,000. Within two years I had three TCM's and two gearboxes replaced (under warranty by Ford). The car has done 55,000 km and I’ve not had any mechanical issues for over 18 months. If I sell, with all the 'known/reported issues', I fear that its true value is understated and I will not get a reasonable price. The car is in immaculate condition with full service history.
