Oppo, what would you do?

My wife was driving 2005 Mini Cooper S for a while. Couple of years ago, there was a snow storm and she slid into a back of another car. No injuries. Minor cosmetic damage.

I fixed most of the cosmetic damage, not professional, but its OK for a 15 year old car. She needed a car after accident so she went and leased an MDX.

Mini has been sitting around and I’ve noticed the break pedal went to the floor. Replaced the Master Cylinder and bled the brakes. Still issue persists. I suspect there is air in ABS system.

Option one - I fix the brakes and attempt to sell the car.

Option two - I don’t fix the brakes and donate the car.

If I donate, of course I would be taking a bath on what I have in the car plus all the repairs I did.

My heart bleeds at the thought of donating a car with 50K miles on the clock.
