Hello all, I found that my 98 corolla was slowly burning engine oil and I have got it checked by 2 technicians. The only suggestion they gave me was to sell the car or replace the engine.
They are quoting $2000 for parts and labor. My question is, is it really worth it to change the engine or should I buy a new car. Will the car run well after the replacement?

Hi there,

This will depend on the quality of the motor they fit, make sure you are happy with the warrant offered, and make sure that there are no hidden costs, but a re co motor should be trouble free, just make sure that the rest off the car is wort that money being spent on it as well.
