Hey guys,
So I threw a rod bearing on my engine not too long ago. Looks like I need a new engine, my shop quoted me $2500 + tax (CAD) to put in a new used engine (180k) with a 4 month warranty.
Is it worth it?
In the last 2.5 years since I bought it (@ 280k), I did front cv axle, spark plugs, spark plug wires (twice), timing belt, valve cover, tires and brakes...
Been looking at other used outbacks (in a manual) and even at a new 2017 outback but unsure of whether I should dump this much money into it.
New to cars so don't really know what else could go wrong, my shop says I am up to date on all my maintenance but I know that it's getting pretty old?
