Well in that case you might have already weighed the options of going for a brand new engine. So how do you really decide between the thrill of buying a new auto and economizing on an old one? There is no definite answer for this question but going for a used auto engine might still be a cheaper option even if you buy a discounted new car. Having said this you should always keep in mind, some important factors on any engine new or used usually have, like-
- Depreciation Value, usually the highest cost involved
- Maintenance and repair
- Your interest on loan
- Insurance
- Fuel consumption
You can easily make an accurate estimate of these costs for any auto engine on your own or with the help of the vast resources on the net. Once this is done all you need to do is to keep the following checklist handy to guide you through your purchase-
New engine Pro’s
- Comes under warranty
- Well Maintained
- You can pick the exact color and options you want
New engine Con’s
- High depreciation cost involved
- Taxes and insurance is higher
- Have to deal with salesperson
Used engine Pro’s
- Lower purchase price
- Insurance and tax rate are less
- Depreciation is flatter
Used Engine Con’s
- Low reliability previous owner might be getting rid of it
- High maintenance
Recently it has been seen that a nationwide network of online automotive stores have popularized the sale and purchase of used auto engine/parts. Since there is no middleman involved therefore these online firms offer the customers all their products at ware house prices. If you go with this option you will not only save money but also time. Hence, now you need not run around the market dealing with temperamental salespeople to fix your automobile. So the conclusion is that you should go for the new car only when you have a good budget else simply replace your auto engine with some used engine offered in the market in a good quality.
AUTO REPAIR WEBSITES? Are there any good ones where I can look up specific "HOW TO" information?
Are there any good auto repair websites for US cars that feature a lot of diagrams and how to information? Perhaps sites that detail specific cars and engines with diagrams like a paper shop manual?

But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Actron has added to the CP9180. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem.

Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand.

![]() Black & Decker AD925 Smart Scan Automotive Check Engine Light Diagnostic Tool List Price: Sale Price: $57.98 You save: $22.01 (28%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionWhen your "Check Engine" light comes on, the Black & Decker AD950 self-diagnostic tool displays the same information stored in a car’s computer that a mechanic uses to diagnose and fix problems. When the "Check Engine" light comes on, for cars manufactured after 1995, insert the SmartScan in the OBDII port near the steering wheel column. The easy-to-read LED screen displays the fault code – the same information a mechanic will see – for why the "Check Engine" light illuminated. The SmartScan is sold with a reference manual of the fault codes which easily stores in the glove compartment. Urgency Indicators also display how serious the problem is. Arrow pointing to green bar indicates the car’s computer is not reporting a problem, and the Smart Scan has the ability to turn off the “Check Engine” light. Arrow pointing to yellow bar indicates the car should be looked at in the next five days. Arrow pointing to amber bar indicates a mechanic should see the car soon before further damage can occur. Arrow pointing to red bar indicates an immediate repair is needed. Catch minor problems before they become big – and expensive. Visit a mechanic armed with knowledge about what is wrong, including which parts might be affected, and don’t be charged for unnecessary repairs.

Once connected, the Smart Scan A925's Urgency Indicator will instantly alert you to the severity of the problem and tell you if it's safe to continue driving. An arrow pointing the green bar indicates no problem, while an arrow pointing to the yellow bar indicates that the vehicle should be examined in the next 5 days. When the arrow points to the amber bar, a mechanic should check the vehicle before further damage occurs. If the arrow points to the red bar, an immediate repair is needed. The Smart Scan AD925 also provides you with the diagnostic codes that are causing the Check Engine Light to come on. These are the same codes that a mechanic uses to diagnose and repair your car. The Smart Scan AD925 stores these codes in its memory, and can be attached to your computer through a USB connection for in-depth research on Black & Decker's Check Engine Light Help Center. This site provides you with probable causes for the Check Engine Light, symptoms you might experience, and tells you what components are most likely involved.
