I was wondering if anybody here can give me some advice. I have a 2011 Ford Edge limited with approximately 130,000 km on it. Last week I noticed some coolant leakage on the road and brought my car in to the dealer. They thought it was the water pump and it would cost $2100 to repair. After taking it apart they are telling me that it was perhaps a faulty plug somewhere and that coolant has mixed with the oil and I now need a new engine that will cost $5000.
I am currently in the market for a new car anyway so I'm wondering what my options are? The only ones I can see are these:

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anybody here can give me some advice. I have a 2011 Ford Edge limited with approximately 130,000 km on it. Last week I noticed some coolant leakage on the road and brought my car in to the dealer. They thought it was the water pump and it would cost $2100 to repair. After taking it apart they are telling me that it was perhaps a faulty plug somewhere and that coolant has mixed with the oil and I now need a new engine that will cost $5000.
I am currently in the market for a new car anyway so I'm wondering what my options are? The only ones I can see are these:
1. Get it fixed and try to sell privately
2. Sell to a scarp yard
Are there any other alternatives?
Thanks in advance,
Brian.
