Why is a $4k engine going in a 99 Durango? That's easy... It only costs about 8% of what a new vehicle would cost to keep the old one running. I'm absolutely not a Mopar fan but that's a pretty obvious choice from a financial standpoint alone.

As a mechanic you have to worry about the integrity of the used motor.

That said if I was the customer if I didn’t exactly how maintained a used motor is I’d opt for the remanufactured motor.
