[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1830719, member: 25884"] I had my mechanic put a new "crate engine" in my 2000 forester and replaced the transmission... cost me around $6,000 including mechanic costs... I found a couple of foresters for around the same price, used... but no guarantees... I know my car, like it, and it was worth it to me. It should last me until I croak.... put a newer used engine out of a wreck, in my 2001 outback, mechanic took 6 months to find it... and I use that car for work. Cost around $4,000 for the engine and them putting it in and all... had a 6 month warranty. At $200/mo car payment, that car's engine is almost paid for after driving it for 18 months now . And no monthly payment. Fewer electronic stuff to go wrong than a new vehicle.... gets decent mileage.... Bought my parents 2012 Ford explorer, from the estate, and it has been a continuing problem... as soon as they get this latest "unable to communicate" BS that won't show the center screen so I can play a radio, see the "climate control stuff"... no backup camera which I don't like anyway... fixed, it is getting sold. Hate it and tired of all the "things that go wrong"... it is like new inside, late 70's-early 80's year old parents never even opened the 3rd row seats... but it does not impress me.... my brother thought I should buy it since it was in such good shape... have a "nice car" to drive... MISTAKE.... don't like it and not going to keep it. Never saw it until we went up to settle estate... drives nice but just not me. [/QUOTE]
