My 2021 SEL

EDITED VERSION:

Bought it as a CPO almost 3 years ago. Was actually thinking about selling it to CarMax cuz they offered me a good price but having a hard time deciding because of these freaking gas prices. This car gets ridiculous gas mileage as the rest of you owners know. It's clean and it's only got 40K on it.

2017 Elantra 2.0 I4 coolant leak

65k miles and not original owner. Took it in when coolant level dropped significantly over the course of a month and I was told head gasket is compromised but its been suggested to replace the whole engine. It is paid off but I also dont known if its worth the financial effort to replace the engine.

Best case is new engine buys me a few years, sure, but what are the cons involved in engine replacement?

Also, it still runs with no other apparent issue but its started with ticking sounds from the lifters recently. How much time do I have to get this all sorted?

Edit to add: there is an internal coolant leak and it was originally taken to an independent shop. Ive always gone to them and they recommended a new engine.
