2008 Pontiac g6 with 150,417 miles. The engine just blew the shop gave me an estimate of $600 for the engine and $1,300 for labor (16 hours). I still owe $1,700 on it. Should I fix it then try to sell or sell as is for cheap (back bumper damage) or trade it in..as is or fixed..? sell it for parts or weight? I just put 1,000 in work on tires and bearings last month.. Just looking on advice for the best way to handle this situation.
