I hear a ticking sound coming out of the AC vents. What could it be?

I drive a 2009 Kia Sorento and I am planning on selling it at the end of the month because I am moving abroad for graduate school.
It has about 120k miles on it and some rust and wear and tear.
I was previously having issues with the transmission but it seems like the transmission fluid was just low, and it's been driving fine since. But that code might show up in the history.
The issue is I have not passed the Massachusetts state inspection and my mechanic said there's an issue with the exhaust/flex pipe (I'm not a car person idk) that would be about $800 to fix.
My question is should I go through with the repair before selling to increase the car value, or will I just be putting more money into it than I would even get back on it?
Also, approximately how much should I be looking to sell it for?
