**jteske88** · 12-12-2012

nothing drove, it to work n back, checked trans fluid, oil level and coolant. Guess im used to the 97 having issues

**BillBoost37** · 12-12-2012

Turn key.. drive... that's about all I do to this baby.

**BrendanMurphy** · 12-12-2012

My mom's GT spun a bearing =( Its a shame only has 170,000km and not a spec of rust. But with money the way it is, we can't afford to replace the motor and hope for the best. Were looking at the Cruze, Fusion and Chrysler 200. We can get a fully loaded LT Cruze for 21k only option it doesn't have is leather.

**Scottydoggs** · 12-12-2012

how can you not afford a used engine, but a another car that cost 21k is? i dont get that logic at all.

New engine + labour to install roughly 2k up front. 21k car over 8 years at 260$ a month. Do the math.

**Scottydoggs** · 12-12-2012

whos paying 2 grand for a engine, even installed, wake up mang.

EDIT: and who in their right mind does a 8 year loan????? interest alone would kill you, and make the car not worth buying.

**RALM** · 12-12-2012

Nothing

stupid cleanup days before winter break... ah well may be able to pick some stuff up for it over winter if there's any decent days

**Kolton Lock** · 12-12-2012

I'd pay that much for a lambo engine lol

**TLSheff** · 12-12-2012

I payed $750 for my used motor, another $600 to have in dropped in (paid the tech at work to do it, could have saved money but no cherry-picker or time) and +/-$300 for all the gaskets, coolant, oil to make sure it was in tip top shape, plus a tranny service... came out to about $2000 once said and done, but again... I did it at work, so I payed a little more than I could have but got it done quickly so I was back in the car in a couple days.

**SDGTP99** · 12-12-2012

^^^I did it for $800 for a used L67 then maybe another $100 for the gaskets, oil etc. Did all the work myself. Took a few days. Far cheaper than buying a new car. I would know...

My mom works for RBC. Its the number 1 bank in Canada and they have a deal with GM. Its an 8 year loan but its an open loan. No interest, and you can get out whenever you want. Its not locked in. And not everyone has the luxury of being able to afford a car on anything less than a 7 year loan. My moms a single mother and works for a Bank. They don't get payed much. She needs something new with a warranty. With the Deals she can get from Ford, GM, and Chrysler its cheaper to buy a new car than a used car.

well i must say, i wish we had loans like that. we get killed here in the states.

but just the down payment for a new car could pay for a used engine installed.

but i hear ya , new car, warranty, low payment, and no interest loan. so whens the part out lol

I live in Canada, Ive never heard of a company that gives tax receipt for cars.
Who???

ANd engines are pretty cheap, 3.8 S/C $400 - then stupid puter and wiring - $700.00
Otherwise i would consider a swap, and a mechanic friend will swap an engine for $400 for me, i do wiring and puter.
