    Ok so I just dropped the 2nd new motor in my impala ss and im so tired of dealing with crap on this car im ready to get rid of it..... It has a little over 109k miles on it and the new motor has about 150 so far....I noticed some scratches on the rear bumper cover when it got back from the mechanic this time and things like that are just pushing me over the edge....

    What Im wondering is how much this car is worth......Spent 4k putting in the first brand new long block and when it went out a 3k miles the company wouldnt back thier warranty so had to buy another long block at cost from them which cost another 1600 before the 400 more on labor....I dont expect to get that money back by selling it Im just ready for a different car.

    Any opinions on about what its worth or anyone looking to buy?

    If the motor went out in 3k miles and the company didn't back it... you must be doing something wrong.

    the mechanic must have done something wrong.....Im thinking he might not have put on a new oil pump with the new motor the first time....either way the company claimed it was some problem with the oiling system or something like that

    I don't know if anything can be done now. You already paid them to have another engine put in. To prove that it was there fault... the engine is probably long gone now.
