If you get something like that, take advantage of it. Rod bearings alone will cost anywhere between $2000-3000 so that alone would cover your warranty cost.
And definitely do, I'll help you find the perfect car for you if you need it. Good luck to you.

Keep in mind the warranty will not cover the cost of preemptive rod bearing replacement (or anything preemptive for that matter). |
Yes you are correct. So as terrible as this sounds, I hope my rod bearings go out soon haha |
Yea you don't want that. There are stories that it took a year or more for a warranty company to finally authorize payment to make the fix. I'm sure there's a story or two out there where the warranty company flat out refused to cover it and there are a few stories of warranty companies closing up shop (not bearing related). Plus the fact that it could be more difficult selling the car since it's not the original engine. What you do want is for your bearings to hold up and then get them replaced as soon as the warranty runs out. |
That's much more of what I meant. I just would much rather have them need to get replaced during the time of the warranty than when the car is out of warranty
