<prompt> Human: Hey folks- Im in a bit of sticker shock and not sure how to proceed. Hoping this sub has some good advice as always! I bought a 2007 Chrysler Aspen used Nov 2015 from one of the larger car lots in town. Had the car checked out before I bought it and stayed up on the maintenance. 2 weeks ago the car stalled out- I had it towed to a shop near my house where they couldnt diagnose the problem but recommended a new engine for 8.8k. Being skeptical and I towed it to another shop for a second opinion. In a few hours they have found the cam shaft has failed and it does indeed need a new engine... I bought the car for 9800 financed most of it. The loan still has 1800 to go 193month. It doesnt seem worth it to me to pay a repair bill for roughly what the car is worth but I really like the car. I just dropped a hefty sum on some jewelry for my hopefully soon to be fiance. This leaves me about 13,000... I have a few decisions to make and am hoping to not do it too emotionally. What to do with current car- A Sell it to a junk yard B part it out myself C try to repair it my self semi confident in my skills to pull and replace, but have family whose confident we can D Pay the repair for the salvaged title. Edit: 5.7L Hemi  <response>: A. Putting nearly 9k into a car worth 9k is not a great idea
