Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2007 mini cooper with bad knocking in the motor.
Is it worth fixing? It drives really well. It's when it's idling it
sounds bad.

Price a new motor buy I can guarantee a new motor will cost more than the car is worth. Have a mechanic check to make sure it is a rod knock and not something cheaper to fix. Do yourself a favor and don't buy another Mini.
