I can see $15k this way

Rolling car $5k
Raby 'cpo' $8k
Installation $2k

At the end you have a 10 year old car with a tested engine that has perhaps 5 of the major failure causes addressed but not the other 16 or so. And little or no warranty...though I'll bet Jake would try and work out something to try and help you. But since the engine isn't one of his total rebuilds, he isn't warrantying it like one, or pricing it like one.

There can be other failures that take down the car. You haven't done anything to the clutch in this scenario and the trans and suspension are old.

The more assurance/warranty you want, the more you pay. The more risk you assume yourself, the less you pay initially. And sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
