Does this sound reasonable (The resell of the car itself with a good engine is ~$6,000)
Additional questions:
What kind of warranty should I expect?
Does it need a compression test?
Should I also replace the clutch?
I am checking on whether the engine been rebuilt and its other history.
Thanks

Check:
compression / leak down
borescope inside the cylinders
remove valve cover and make sure there is no sludge buildup
visual inspection of cam lobes for wear
Unfortunately, unless you perform a full teardown of the engine, there is no way to know the condition of the bottom end...
Good luck!

No it is not reasonable you can get a better price than that.
If you can't cut your losses and sell it as is.
