Insurance-Engine swap 2009XK for 2007XJL ??
#21
Contrary to popular belief very low mile cars cars that are not driven every couple weeks are often more headaches maintenance-wise than those driven constantly and well-cared for. "A lump of metal". last I checked there were many different metals, lots of rubber that dries out, gaskets that dry out, electronics, plastics, etc.

Update: Dec 2016 dealer did check and the 2007 replacement engine is leaking oil. Timing cover seals leak, camshaft gasket, spark plug seals.. Will cost $400 or so in parts, $1400 or so in labor. I am NOT happy. I had my 2009 - 7 years with no leaks up to 2015. Elite Auto Parts Engine warranty 90 days. Dealer 1 year. Insurance co of course says regular wear and tear. Dealer did not advise of 1 year warranty either. UGH. Do these prices sound correct? Is this taking engine apart again?? How can this not be due to age of engine? Don't seals dry out? Especially if not driven much?
