Yeh i always say that, why are there no 30k coupe's on the roads, but loads in the scrap yards.

Many believe them though, i had someone cancel on me after sending a 65k engine as they found a 24k unit, they did call me 2 months later when a hole appeared in it!

As for a 5 year warranty, god there desperate, obvioulsy already planned when there going bust.

And 3 days for the work

whats your success rate like? ie. out of 10 within 6 months

Find anyone in the last 5 years ive been breaking thats had one die? Ive never heard of any.

But if i sold one that died in a month thats just how they are, there all crap and dying no matter what you buy. They are Fiat engines afterall. I have no faith in them!

No one can warrant any used engine without a strip down, unless there mental or a liar! Having a warranty is one thing, trying to use it should you need to is another!

Look at coupe's when new, dealers were flooded with dead engine's before 40k!

You dont seem a lucky person though

you could be right carl! you dont sell low milege coupes with 5 year 60,000 mile warrantys do you it must have the red key!

in all seriousness do you sell coupes whole not just in bits?

---

I certainly sell a few, although i dont have to advertise 80% of them as buyers seem to track me down.

No warranties though, unless ive been on crack the night before, although most benifit from any free parts and odd repairs should they need them, kind of a fair mutual common sense agreement.

Heres our recent one:
web page

Painted to mintness and £1400 of damage occured in 5 days, which were repairing on the insurance!

Sold two others since, and have one 20vt and one 20v na and one 16v left to do.

If you look at those service intervals, there are a couple of worryingly long gaps of 14,000miles and 15,000 miles. If previous owners have done a lot of short journeys with those oil change gaps and/or they weren't religious about checking the oil level, you may have an explanation.
I never leave a car for longer than 6,000 miles between oil & filter changes and I've never had an engine fail on me (apart from a cambelt which doesn't count).It's a risk you take when buying a used car with that sort of mileage. I hope you get a good outcome
