It may sound a lot but actually you would be an investment because afterwards you will have a sound very low mileage and dependable car, like Woody mentioned, these engines does not like sitting still for a long periods, let along several years (specially the IMS bearing..) and rubber pieces.

Congratulations on your gift :-)
