Crankshaft failure on 2000 Boxster

Hi,

Apologies for the intrusion of this being my first post without a proper introduction. I've found the information posted here very useful and thought I'd seek your advise.

I've experienced a crankshaft failure on my 2000 Boxster. The car has 120k miles on it and according to the mechanic I hired, the entire engine needs to be replaced. I've found a shop which will let me source my own engine and will swap it for approx 2k. I have a couple of questions:

- is that a reasonable price for a swap?

There are many places where one can buy a used engine. After doing some research, I've seen a few different offerings:

- reconditioned engines
- used with < 50k miles (between 4k-6k)
- used with > 50k miles (between 2.5k-4k)

What would be a wise decision? Any arguments pro/contra a reconditioned engine?
