Low Mileage Engines LLC is one of the premier sources for used engines in the United States. We advertise a lot of the benefits you get when you deal with us – free shipping to businesses, 1 year unlimited mile parts warranty, a free CARFAX to verify mileage on engines from US vehicles, and our commitment to excellence.
What you will never see us do, under any circumstances, is advertise “Cheap engines for sale.” Why? To folks who care about quality, “cheap” is a misleading, arbitrary term with a lot of implications that we just don’t like.
No matter what type of used engine you have and no matter who you buy from, any used engine you consider purchasing will have been made by the same company – the original manufacturer of the engine. Your replacement engine will have been made by the company that made the engine you’re replacing. A 2005 Liberty Jeep engine will only be made by a Jeep authorized company.
Why do I bring this up? You need to consider what causes price differences between companies. Folks who sell used engines source products come from the same place – vehicles that have gone through insurance salvage auctions. Manufacturing quality isn’t the issue determining price. There are other very important issues affecting price.
The first is the company’s ability to stand behind their warranty. At Low Mileage Engines, we pride ourselves in having one of the strongest warranties in the nation, and we stand behind it! We’ve found that many companies advertising “Cheap” engines have a hard time standing behind their warranty – they can’t afford to, because they’re broke!
The second issue that affects price is condition of the engine. While all used engines that will work for an application share a common ancestry, their histories can be radically different. I understand why customers find buying an engine for $500 less from one of my competitors alluring. But when our engine has lower miles that are CARFAX verified and isn’t out of a flood vehicle, we’re by far the better value. What is the better value: $1800 for an engine with unverified that sat half submerged in a pond for six hours, or $2300 for an engine that CARFAX certifies not to have any flood reports with verified mileage? Of course, the second option is best because you know what you’re getting.
Engines are priced as cheap engines when they don’t offer much value. The truth of the matter is that normally there isn’t much difference in price between a “cheap” engine and a good used engine. You might save $100, $200, etc up front on your purchase if you buy the cheap option, but you stand to lose a lot of money in the long run. Having to install more than one engine is expensive, and many times we sell to customers who bought from our competition to save $200 – only to come back to us later when they get a bad engine from someone else.
If you need a used engine, we would love to quote you. You can reach us at (800) 709-9233.
