Twyfly, I totally feel for you. My engine with 59K went last month due to a an oil pump failure leading to seizure of the engine. I bought a used engine with about 29K miles on it from Volvo and Saab Dismantlers in Sacramento, CA for $2000.00. To ship to east coast it was $200.00. Labor and additional parts (shaft seal, washers, turbo seal, etc) was about $1600.00. I'm pleased to report that this engine is just as smooth as the old engine and might even be slightly better. I have noticed that the average fuel efficiency in mixed highway/city driving is about 24-25 MPG. Before, with the old engine..it was around 19-20MPG. Perhaps this decrease in AVG MPG was a warning sign that something was wrong with my engine....
