I have 2014 Santa Fe Sport AWD, tech package, clean exterior, no dings,, less than a year old new tires. Tech package with moon roof, heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel.

Everything works fine and still runs. The only issue, engine knocking sound when more than 3k-5krpm. As you may know, it is a common issue on Hyundai Santa fe, sonata and kia's engine recall.

I tried having hyundai dealership to replace the engine but they said corporate hyundai denied it and would like to charge me about 11k. They said reason being denied is neglect which is always the reason for most that got rejected when i researched about the issue.

I tried trading it in with the dealership but they said they are offering $0 for it, short term for no.

It still runs but we don't know until when the engine will blow or stall.

I'd like to sell it privately stating the issue and who ever may have a used engine or knows how to repair it at a lower cost.

How much do you think i can get out of it with the current state.

Carmax estimate is 1800 and clunkerjunker 1430.

Can i get more than those for private selling?
