Why Replace your Car Engine?
Like everything else, automotive parts have a fixed life span. In these times of austerity, car owners are keeping their cars and trucks longer than ever before. The median age of passenger cars on US roads, according to a survey taken in March 2009, was about nine and a half years. With regular maintenance, oil changes, tune ups and tire replacement, you can extend the life of your car. Nevertheless, the durability of automotive parts such as an engine can be difficult to predict.
Cars and trucks are racking up more and more mileage than ever before. If your car has crossed the 125,000 mile the engine could be reaching the end of its life or it might need replacement. Your car can show a decline in its performance and multiple other problems. You can consider getting a refurbished engine installed if your car is in otherwise great condition and you are sentimentally attached to it. Often a new car can be way overpriced. Furthermore, a new car buyer can be convinced into paying for expensive additional options that can hike up the price of the vehicle.
Instead of investing money in a new vehicle, you can repair your motor or replace it and extend the life of your existing vehicle. Unlike routine maintenance, replacement of the motor is a major repair job and should be handled by professional mechanics or by car enthusiasts with abundant knowledge of motor parts and mechanics. You can save a lot of money by replacing your engine if you are able to find a reasonably priced refurbished motor. A used engine can put you back by $1000-2000, if you take your old car to the mechanic and get a replacement. On the other hand a brand new motor can cost $2000-$4000. It makes sense replacing your old motor with a used or brand new model if the resale of your car is above $6000, otherwise selling or junking it would be a better idea.
The first step to restoring your car is to get a full mechanical overview. The mechanic can suggest that a few repairs such as replacing transmission, piston or gasket can save you from the cost of an entire replacement. If replacement is your only option, salvage yards and auto parts dealers can be the best places to find a refurbished used engine to install in your car. Most yards stock guaranteed auto parts and offer reasonable pricing for installing a refurbished or new engine. MN residents can find local auto parts dealers and salvage yards offering a wide selection of auto parts at affordable prices.
