Just sold my daily driver '96 Jeep Cherokee to a friend for $50. Rust finally started eating the electric grounds. It was thoroughly shot. Anyway I pulled my '04 Marauder out of the garage, put plates on it and went looking for a new daily driver.

Picked up a stone and busted the windshield. The next day a coil went. A week later it throws a check engine light. I notice a light stumble in the idle. Seems like a bad coil but less severe.


Shop tells me I have low compression on #6. (180 psi across the board while #6 is at 140 psi).

They're telling me $1,500 to R/R engine and $750 for a reman head. They also said there's a TSB on the valves. I hadn't heard this before.

Car is stone stock with 73k miles. I've put 3k miles on it since 2009.

Thoughts? Opinions?
