Where to sell my Qashqai that needs a new turbo?

I have a 142 Nissan Qashqai with what I believe to have a blown turbo in it.

I'm wondering where is the best place to try and sell this as is and what price am I looking at getting for this? From what I'm told it will cost roughly €2,500 to replace the turbo and I'm just not willing to put that kind of money into it.

I need to replace the car but would need to sell this first to come up with some kind of deposit.

Hi Lisa,

I reckon your best bet is to use the car as is for a trade-in against your next car. You will be offered significantly less than its market value as the dealer will want to cushion themselves against unforeseen expenses in the repair, but it will mean you won't have to deal with all that.
