[QUOTE="jlaudioman, post: 286209, member: 543352"] well I asked them what the detailed info was on the "problem". They said that for them to do the diagnostics on it, it would cost me $750 for them to basically open up the engine block and figure it out. Then if I still had to replace the entire block, it would cost me an additional $4500. I'm just curious as to if I should either get it fixed and keep it, get it fixed and trade it in, or just trade it in as is. The first owner must have driven it pretty hard for this to go wrong as I get the routine maintenance done on it. The mechanic mentioned that most likely, the previous owner didn't do the routine oil changes and that's most likely the cause of this mess. I dunno though...I don't know much about car's, let alone something as detailed/confusing as an engine block. [/QUOTE]
