because the servicing costs are determined by workshops/companies who charge ridiculous amounts of money at will and inevitably make older cars not worth repairing. personal example: for the same repair in my home country (EU country) would normally cost 350-450e but i was asked from 1000e to 1500e in the EU country i currently live
Do you earn more money in your current EU country vs the home one? Certainly in the UK a lot of cars get purchased for scrap value taken to a cheaper country for repair (or just used for spares)
