Engine replacement on possible buy (2015 Genesis)

[KK777]

We are in the process of purchasing a 2015 Genesis Sedan and the Carfax reads that the engine was replaced in April 2016 at 20k miles. Any advice on a full engine replacement? Has anyone had this work done? Worth the purchase? Good or bad?

I am sure it was done under warranty. May have been returned under the Lemon Laws before they decided to replace the engine.

 

[KK777]

Yes it was done under the warranty. Would you buy it?

Only if it was a CPO and came with 100 b2b.

If the price is right, go for it....car has the new engine after all.

The only thing I would worry about is why the engine had to be replaced. If the engine was abused (or driven very hard, if you prefer) the transmission may have also been driven very hard. So making sure one has the full 10 year - 100K mile drivetrain warranty is preferred.
