2011 CR-V SE A/C compressor - fix or sell?

Question ❔

Hello,

New here, not sure if I used the right flair. I have a 2011 CR-V SE AWD with 202,000 miles and a broken A/C compressor. The cheapest quote I got to fix it is around $1500. Edmunds says my car is worth around $1900 whether or not it's fixed (I'm in South Carolina if that makes any difference). Should I get it fixed or sell/trade the car in? I've already put plenty of money into this car since I bought it at 130k miles (brakes, oil leak, new tires, unsuccessfully trying to fix its tendency to burn oil) and I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. If it's better to sell it, about how much more could I get on the private market vs trading it in?

Edit: clarification
