Spun rod bearing, getting new shirt block but time to let it go?
My 13 had a spin rod bearing about 3 weeks ago. It’s still under CPO warranty and the dealership is replacing the short block. They also offered to buy it back for 3 grand more than I owe. What do I do? Sell or count on the problem being fixed with the new short block?

How much are they offering you? 3k more than you owe could be $3001. And how much does a working one go for with similar mileage and condition?

How many miles? Salvage or regular title? General condition other than the engine?

Anyway, unless it's a really high mileage car, you should be able to get it fixed then sell it for 14-15k. Plus you have a bit of warranty left, which is worth a lot when selling.

Thanks. So you don't think that the fact it has a new short block will discourage people from buying it?

It's worth more than 11k once the engine is repaired. I definitely wouldn't take less than 13k, and I wouldn't take less than 14k unless I just wanted to dump the car.
They'll fix the engine, turn around, and ask 16k on the lot.
