The same goes for getting a new engine ( but they don't have a new engine to replace it with) this is why they sought out a used engine.

Because this Is an asset there isn't much more they are required to do other than paying market price for a pay out or fixing the problem. Also there is no compensation for some thing like this (ex. Pain and suffering).

I understand your feeling.. What would be the retail value after engine replaced, over $23k? Are you comfortable with the engine from the junk yard? it is like rolling the dice, and will all this be reported to Carfax or Autocheck? Those issues should be considered, i think.
