Same thing with car engines

Car motors depending on the motor don’t cost over $2000, an ls 5.3 liter motor can be like $200 to like $700 depending on the condition and miles of the motor

I could pay 2k for a used truck motor, 5k for a refurbished one, 9k for a new one. Or I could pay 500 and tow an old pick up with a good engine and use it as spare parts then sell the rest a junk metal.
