"catastrophic engine failure" (long)

[donv]

Bad news!

I suppose it is not as simple as they just forgot to put the oil or coolant back in the engine and it siezed? Of course, they would have probably quickly filled it, if so... it really is curious that they're giving you a "free" engine if they did nothing wrong...

I agree with prior posts that having a new factory engine (presumably "better" vintage as well?) in a 65K mile car for just a bit more than $2K is a good deal... but it is still 2 grand you weren't signing up to spend...

Hey, at least get them to turn on your trip computer at the same time, if you don't already have it...
