It may be cheaper to pay for an engine opposed to buying another vehicle?

+3 on replacing the engine. Far cheaper than buying a new car and the GS can roll on.

I've already got a new car needed something with a warranty as far as motor swap debating on saving up for a new motor but I would more than likely sell it to help pay off my car... Motor blew while driving down the highway I shot a rod the tech at my local Lexus dealership literally told me I have no idea why this happened I have pictures but I'm on my phone not a computer there's a hole in the block and the couple of pieces I found show just where the rod or rod bolt struck it and I would love to put a gte in it lol the money just isn't there. For the grammar buffs out there please excuse the massive run on sentence lol
