Should I repair my lift gate or not?

[Alan]

I’ve been dealing with a frustrating "lift gate unavailable" issue lately. I had it serviced under warranty before, but now it’s back, and of course, it happened right after the warranty expired. I’m stuck trying to figure out how much it might cost to fix it.

With so many other problems cropping up, I’m weighing my options. Should I fix it before trading the car in, or just let the appraiser find it and take the hit on the trade-in value? It’s a tough call, and I’m hoping to get some insight into whether it’s worth repairing or if I should just move on. I’ll keep you posted on what I decide

If I were you, I would find a way to fix it. If you leave it as that, the potential buyer would have a bigger "advantage" in the negotiation process. Just a thought!

Such bad timing with the warranty! Getting an estimate might help, if it’s pricey, maybe just let the appraiser find it. Keep us posted..

Uhm you are right, fixing it might help avoid a lower trade-in value and give me a better negotiating position. I’ll consider that as I weigh my options. Thanks

I’ll get an estimate first, if it’s too pricey, I might just let the appraiser find it.

No problem! I hope you get the best deal out of it.
