Let's not put this on the driver. He came asking for help not driving advice based on speculation.

Again, to my previous points - POA is helping some people with engine replacement costs out of warranty. I agree that you shouldn't have to have 3 engines at 90K miles. However, there is the concept of fair use. You used the car and the existing engine(s) - a new engine benefits you by, now having a 0 mile engine versus a 90K mile engine. I would approach POA and present my case. If you purchased your P-car at a dealer or went to a dealer regularly for service, they can also help you make your case.

I would be curious as to what the failure was. You mentioned "engine parts" - I don't know of any intermediate shaft failures where they simply "fixed" the engine. It's always been a new or refurbished engine.
