I have a 2012 WRX and somehow a seal was blown and the oil ran out. Long story. The car is knocking so I'm guessing both the motor and turbo are bad. The dealer is quoting me $6000-$7000 to replace with a used engine. I can't afford this and it seems like a lot, even if that's the installed price.
I know lots of people have motors but no cars, or want to do swaps, and so on, so I've considered selling it as well. If I sell it, does anyone have any advice on what might be a good, reasonable price? It has 68k miles, maintenance paperwork and is otherwise in decent shape, for a rust belt car.
I have another car so even if it took longer to say, get a motor shipped that was a better price, that's something I could do. I just need to get it done before the cold months.
So in this situation, would you guys fix it, or sell it? Or I guess fix it and sell it, but I love the car and if I do fix it I'll probably be interested in keeping it.
I'm located in Southeast Michigan.
This was a huge shock and I am lost here, I just paid it off and was hoping to get another 5 years out of it, so I would appreciate advice, suggestions or whatever.
Thanks!
