so this is (was) my wife's car: 2010 Buick Enclave, 165k miles. A few weeks ago she was having trouble getting it started, and after she did, it lost almost all power, along with making a "clicking" noise from the engine. We had it towed to a mechanic (who we trust). He drained the oil and observed metal shavings in the oil. I'm assuming large shavings , not just metal dust.
He estimates 10-15 hours in labor just to diagnose, which would be over a grand right there.
replacing the engine is likely to cost $5k. The car is worth between $6k and $8k (assuming it were running). Not really worth putting in $5k for a car worth $8k at the most, is there?
