Ive never had issues with the car for the first 2 or so years of ownership. Now its little things here and there pissing me off. Trunk doesnt open unless manually. Window makes a clanking noise when rolled up. Just to name a few. The car has low compression on the front rotor (got it tested last year). My plan was to get the new engine under warranty and then selling it but if im trading it in i dont think the amount of money i would get for it would be much different with the old engine. Also ya the power is not there at all. Ive hated getting beat by civics. Not that i race or anything, just a little street fun sometimes.

Do you guys think it would be wise to get the engine replaced before selling or am i better off just selling it as is ?? Keep in mind im still saving for the new car so i would either have to hold on to his car for a bit after the new engine or if i sold it as is , i would have to drive a shitty civic for a bit till i can afford the z.
