hey, i had a new engine put in my '89 accord. This small dealer that we bought the car from about 5 years ago put it in. He says he imported it from Japan and it only has 40,000 miles on it if that. It cost like $2,500 (850 for the engine, more for labor + shocks and independent rear suspension which were all broken). I understand that the car isn't really worth that much, but it was cheaper than buying a new car, which i didn't have the money for, and now this car should be inexpensive for the next few years and everything is fixed. I don't really know that much about cars though, so I was wondering what people thought about this, if it was worth it. Did I make a good move?

 

not sure I understand your question.

 

doesn't sound too good to me. IMO
