New engine.

Was just curious- I just had the engine replaced under warranty. Only 79,000 miles. My question is what does this for the resale value?

My guess is that in most cases, this will increase the resale value. You now have a new engine in that Genesis - with an additional warranty...

I don't know if it'll necessarily increase the resale value. If it does, it'll be marginal. It might help it sell quicker, because some will like the idea that it has a new engine, but that's it. Nobody cares if it's a numbers matching engine or not. It is not a collector car.

There is no additional warranty on that new engine since you didn't pay for it. The engine is warrantied for 10yr/100k miles. Doesn't matter if it was replaced at 99k miles, Hyundai only guarantees it until 100k miles. Even if it did carry a warranty, it's for 12mon/12k miles, which would still keep it under 100k miles that it's already warrantied for.
