The engine on my 96 infiniti i30 blew out, (oil leak) the pistons were cracked etc. There's a auto shop in town that has a engine for $400 and a 60 day warranty on the part (45k miles on it). A local mechanic said he can do the work for $1,500. I am just wondering if this will be worth it and what should I expect going into this. I really love my car and the body and interior is in excellent condition.

screw that old asss car and update to a 2008 car you cheap bastard!
