Should we repair or replace our school bus?

Our school bus is having frequent issues. Should we repair it or just replace it?

It depends on several factors. How old is the bus, and what kind of repairs are needed?

The bus is 10 years old, and it needs a new engine and some bodywork.

Given its age and the cost of a new engine, it might be worth considering a replacement. Have you looked into the costs?

Not yet. What should I consider when comparing repair costs to replacement costs?

You should consider the total cost of repairs, the bus's current value, and how much longer it can realistically last.

That makes sense. I’ll gather some cost estimates and get back to you.
