i Say Buy a brand New complete Motor for about5/6k & find a built trans at a decent price. I would never buy a used Motor only to stick it in my car with 72k on it. before you know it your going to have to be fixing it back up again . just my 2cents

why are you buying a motor? the car doesn't have that many miles on it, it doesn't need a swap.

I would think anything under 20,000 miles a year would be alright
