I am considering selling my '06 sedan, and I want everyone's opinion on something:

About a year ago, a conrod bearing failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. All of the work was done at an Infiniti dealership, and they installed a brand new OEM engine, which currently has about 4K miles.

As a buyer, would you see this as a good thing or a bad thing?

I could see it both ways. I think it is important to know that this is the only problem I have ever had with the vehicle. Aside from this problem, the car has never had to go in for anything other than routine maintance. I have all of the paperwork to substantiate the work, as well as all service records on the car.

To me, it would be an asset having a new engine. Everything from fuel injectors, spark plugs, engine block, pistions and seals are brand new. But on the other hand, I know it may make someone weary that the vehicle could have other defects...

What do you think???

 

If its new then it would be good...

 

two ways to look at it, new engine is good, but being relatively new as a 2006 that is not a good thing. I would be hesitant in purchasing a car with a replaced motor, original is always better but since it was done at a dealership I guess that would me ok.
