I believe the fuel rail is the recall and nothing to worry about...the engine removal/long block sounds like it had the engine block replaced??? What's the asking price and what year and model?

Sounds very invasive. Is that the only car available to you?

(We bought our 2006 wagon from them. Not certain I'd buy another car from them.)

no it was just one that I happened to see when browsing today. Very few have all the options I'm looking for. It's not at Len Stoler its at another place National Motors Waldorf.

I've had my long block replaced, when a piston failed. I have the 2.0 liter turbo engine, however. I presume that yours is a V6.

From Wikipedia:

" Long block is an automotive term for an engine sub-assembly that consists of the assembled block, crankshaft, cylinder head, camshaft (usually), and valve train. A long block does not include fuel system, electrical, intake, and exhaust components, as well as other components (see below for a more complete list). "

If they checked compression, then replaced the long block, it had a bad hole. Probably broken rings or piston. I wouldn't worry about it, if the car is nice.

It's a 65K car with a 45K engine.

Some people would shy away. You may be able to leverage the repair history for a lower price.

Yeah I'm more afraid of the dealership than the car's history at this point. Anyone in Maryland want to check it out for me?

The dealership has a high rating but your mileage may vary.
