Engine Mechanical problem
1998 Buick Regal 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
Price : $660 shipped (3.8L used, with intake/exhaiust manifold, 88k miles)
Mechanic install: $400
I'm having to replace my head-gasket blown Regal engine. I'm curious whether this is a reasonable price to pay for the "repair". Engine is through BasicCarParts.com...which leads to my second question:
Has anyone dealt with that company? I design websites, and am perfectly comfortable buying computers, music, etc. from online comapnies, but have never bought an engine from one. I wanted a local salvage yard to price, but none had even a 24-hour warranty or tested engine available.
Thanks
