    Engine for my car is 300 euros used. Transmission 150-1000 depending on warranty level. This car model itself goes for 1500-6000 depending on condition. This is a nearly 20 year old car with 400k km on it. But why would the engine blow? I change oil regularly and these things do much higher mileages than my paltry 400k km. The actual most expensive thing is if I have to replace a set of injectors.

    I’ve had exactly one engine blow on me over me years, it was a Chrysler with the SOHC V6. Terrible engine by a terrible company. Almost every car I’ve had since then has been German with high mileage and not a single time have I had any engine issues.
