I bought a 2012 jeep wrangler in 2021 (my first mistake). It has needed multiple repairs and for the car itself and with repairs I’ve spent about $35,000. Now it would sell for $16,000 judging by similar jeeps. I haven’t taken it to the mechanic yet, but have reason to believe I’m going to have to replace the engine. Do I spend the thousands of dollars to replace the engine and keep it? Or should I sell it after I fix it? Is putting a new engine in it almost like having it new?

    dang, that’s a tough situation. sounds like that jeep has been nothing but trouble. if it were me, i’d sell it after fixing it and cut my losses. putting in a new engine doesn’t guarantee it’ll be problem-free. better to move on to something more reliable.

    Jesus christ. On a 2012? How many fucking miles does that thing have on it?

    I definitely vote for a sell but definitely get a full assessment of what needs to be fixed on it
