BEST ADVICE: Bite the bullet and get the car fixed
Repairing the car would be a ‘best advice’ if my car was a low mileage 986. But it’s not. The value of the car without a CEL would likely be around $10k. Every shop that has seen the car has estimated the repair north of $7k, and that was pre-Covid estimates. Naw, am better off paying the $200 every two years to get the car smogged. I was just hoping there was an easier way.
