Almost 70K miles is on the high side for a 2003 engine, but still 70,000 miles really isn't that many. There should be a lot of life left in an engine with 70,000 miles. Plus, there is no core charge like you get with the salvage yards so you can keep your old engine or sell it. You could potentially get this engine for free if you sold your 3.2L and just be out for the labor to have it swapped. I see 3.2L going for 5k+ all day long on ebay.
