Sure, the point is that the car dealer would ask a "proportionate" price for the engine swap (even if not cheap, or not as cheap as a "punctual" repair) in the order of magnitude of 3,000 to 6,000 Euro, at the most 10,000 i.e. 10% or 20% or 30% at the most of the price of the car "new".
Here we are talking of 90% to 100% of the price of a new printer.
- bradknowles 7y ago2011 Nissan Juke with five year/50,000 mile warranty. Bought in 2012, only one owner. In good condition with roughly 45,000 miles in December of 2019, Kelley Blue Book resale value of about $7,000.00 USD. Timing chain breaks. Out of warranty. Cost from dealer is estimated at $10,000 for a complete engine replacement, plus turbos. No joke. Takes the vehicle down to net negative value, which can only be declared a complete loss and sold for parts. NB: Cost estimate from reputable third parties is $7,000-8,000, not a full replacement but only a partial rebuild. Doesn’t materially change the result.
