Engine Replacement
Alright, so my mechanic is saying that I need a new engine and wants to charge me $5000 for a new engine and installation. He is saying that the engine will be $3000 by itself. I'm pretty sure he's trying to rip me off so I'm looking around for an engine thats remanufactured to put in myself with the help of a friend. Does anyone know where I can pick up an engine thats good for a good price? I've found a couple of different sites that are offering $1995. Is that a good price or can I find one for better? Any help would be awesome, thanks guys...

Why is your mechanic saying you need a new engine? Is the block cracked or worse? Most engine problems can be repaired.
If you need a new engine I would check into Jasper Engines. They have a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty and known several people who have had good luck with them.
