I think it depends on a couple of things, especially mileage and worth of car. If you have a fairly nice car with a pretty good value that will last a long time, the extra $2000 on an engine may be worth it. If you have an older car with 200,000 miles on it already, don't bother! I say this from personal experience having just done it- not worth it. I should have put that money down towards buying a better car!

What is good new car or used car?

If you have good amount of money to buy "New Car" then buy new car, but if you are on a tight budget and want to be practical then buy "used car".In my opinion, I would buy new car!In my opinion the best buy is a 1 year old Certified Used car with very low mileage. You same lots of money, get as good and sometimes better warranty than even new, and still have a car that is practically new. All in all that is a great deal.
