Thinking of trading in my car?

I have a 2006 honda civic sedan. It has the speed sensor messed up (you can go 45 but it will say you are going 71) and it needs the high end pipe replaced on the A/C. Everything else is fine. The oil has been changed regularly along with the brake pads, has some minor cosmetic damage (scratches but nothing MAJOR) I would like to get a different vehicle (don't have the time to fix it and need another vehicle to get a job I'm applying for, driver) What would be the best option to go with? Sell it myself and then put that money towards another vehicle? What about taxes and licences? I live in KY so what are the guidelines for that?

Getting it fixed will take less time than the process to replace it. And if you sell it broken you will only hurt yourself - not only will the potential buyer deduct the cost to fix it, your selling a vehicle with multiple unrelated problems will tell people that you don't take good care of your vehicle - most people fix problems as they come up, not wait until you have multiple things wrong and then sell it.

Just fix it - you can skip the speed sensor if it is too expensive as a GPS will provide your MPH. Have the A/C fixed - probably won't cost more than a car payment or two and you will have a car that you can drive payment free - if the cost of repairs starts to get to extensive (more than 300-400 a month (think the amount of a car payment) over a years time then start considering a new(er) car.

Repair it

I agree with all the other answers. Fixing the car is you absolute best course of action. You have a great car in the Honda Civic so keep it.
