<prompt> Human: I currently have a 2012 Kia Sportage that keeps having issues that need repair. Just today I found out I will need to pay 1500 to replace the AC compressor among other things and I have spent time and money on other things including an engine recall over the past year and a half.KBB says the value is only about 6k and at 71k miles its not going to get better. Is it time to sell?  <response>: Financial speaking the best decision is to nearly always keep repairing and drive your vehicle into the ground. 71k miles isnt a whole lot on a modern car anyway; odds are you can at least double that before it is ready for the scrap heap.Did you get a new engine out the recallor just the inspection?? If so you definitely need to keep driving it as you lucked out with the KiaHyundai engine recall. A newer engine should give your car even more years of low maintenance life.
