It turns out the car has more problems than I initially imagined.

the mechanic says it need new water pump for the cooling systems and
timing belts, seals, hoeses etc etc. there were so many things that
needed fixing....

the estimate was around 800 USD.

car runs ok without the repairs. I was thinking abou tgettign rid of
this car and that’s where my question is.

if the car has problems with over heating, and non working
speedometer, but otheriwse good shape in terms of the engine, what
should I sell the car for?

the KBB says it’s around 1200 USD.

thanks all in advance for any insights.

YIKES! the repairs are almost as much as the car is for.

If you can afford it, I would go get me a new Elantra or Sonata!
Great deals at your dealers right now... if they gave you $800 for
it, you would be lucky, but you might be able to dump it off on them
and use it as a down payment!

You can get a nice loaded Elantra GLS for around $12-$13K.
