In a Credit Crunch? Rebuilding Engine may be the Answer

Dear Editor,

In today’s tumultuous credit market, some people may not be able to find a car loan or lease when they experience serious engine trouble. Rebuilding a car’s engine makes financial sense because it eliminates the need for a loan along with saving the cost of new car payments and higher insurance rates.

According to Edmunds.com, the average car loan payment is $479 per month and, over four years, that adds up to $22,992 that can be saved by skipping car loan payments.  At the cost of a down payment for a new car, repbuilding is a very sound and attractive investment. 

With engine rebuilding, a vehicle’s engine or an identical one from another like-vehicle is completely disassembled, cleaned, machined and remanufactured - rebuilt.  Unlike used or junk yard engines with an unknown performance and maintenance history, remanufactured engines are dependable, reliable and backed by excellent warranty programs.

Buying or leasing a new car every few years costs consumers a huge financial loss when today’s vehicles can last over 200,000 miles.  The bottom line is that a repowered engine makes a vehicle more dependable, more fuel efficient, less polluting and more valuable.
