Even 5k to install an engine costs less than a single year of payments on a mid range new car.......I learned that lesson with my TDI, which I am dumping come spring. Far too expensive for a car that doesn't drive as nice as any of my MBs....I also shudder to think of maintaining it when the warranty is gone.
