  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hi guys I haven't slept in days.. I bought my 1st car it took me 30 years of my life 2 buy 1...
:( I never had the luxury of buying a car my parents could never afford it when I was in highschool always walked & bus everywhere i saved & saved until i new what my Dream car was & that was a Hyundai Genesis 2012 3.8 I had it for 3 years bought it 100,000km used payed alot for it i loved this car. But recently I had an engine failure i was driving & it shut off on me super dangerous loss control luckily didn't crash into anyone was stuck 4 hours waiting 4 a toe truck with 1% battery life on my phone. I heard engine rattling than it siesed on me 1 day prior i took it 2 dealership to get engine oil because I stayed ontop of maintenance & repairs i got a new alternator, battery, replaced sparkplugs did everything they told me to keep it going... I haven't slept in days since the dealership told me I need a new engine i can't afford a new car cause I lost my job due to the pandemic. What do I do? The Hyundai dealership said they found a used engine they can put in it to bring it back to life but i dont know much about cars is this a good idea how long will this take. I need advice please & thank you. I miss SEGA is it worth it cause every other car used is a downgrade should I gamble get the used engine I was hoping to have this car till I was old & grey.

Things are not worth losing sleep over. Other than that, you have not given enough information to give you any useful advice.
What was the cause of the engine failure?
What kind of warranty does the repair (used engine) come with?
Can you afford it if for example, your transmission fails a hundred miles after you replace the engine?
What are they charging for the engine replacement?
Where are you at (to compare prices)?

I don't know too much yet they said they will run the #'s my guess maybe 90 day warranty. I bought the car at 100 000 it died at 200 000 right now they said $2000CAD for a engine with less KM than mine not including labor cost don't even know how much that will be. I heard knocking/rattling on the left/right hand side b4 it gave out right when I was going home lost power to the engine was on a downhill than it shut off. They said some baring or something gave out on the right side of the engine I don't remember what term they used. I'll have 2 get back 2 you as soon as they update me my options & costs.
