Hi, good evening. Last Friday I had unknowingly spilt coffee onto my Macbook Pro while it was in my purse therefore I let it sit and soak in the coffee for a few hours ( it wasn't much coffee not even half a cup). The screen visibly has coffee in it but it works fine for now. It does have an extreme coffee oder and I know coffee most likely got into every part of the computer. Is it just going to break over time and not turn on?

Probably.

Coffee is acidic. The screen itself is likely to fail as is eventually the logic board.

Is it possible to have it fixed for a decent price?

Probably not.

The cost of a screen alone is close to $600.

If the Logic board goes too then double the cost.

Or could I get trade in value to purchase a new one?

It's probably not worth much as a trade in.

You might deliver it to Apple for evaluation and cleaning - if cleaning is a service - otherwise eventually that MBP is gonna go away. Make sure you keep your data backed up regularly and start saving for a replacement Mac. You might check with your homeowner insurance carrier to see if your personal electronics are covered against this sort of incident.
