Repowering Engine Offers Huge Savings
Skip New Car Payments to Help Your Household Finances
BETHESDA, MD – August 4, 2008 – Serious engine trouble can cause real panic to someone who is already facing economic difficulties. By repowering your engine rather than buying a new vehicle, you could skip the new car payments ($479 per month on average according to Edmonds.com) and have extra money to help with other bills.
“Reliable transportation is still an economic necessity in these difficult financial times,” said Steve Rich, chairman of the Engine Repower Council (ERC). “When your car or truck suffers major engine damage, buying a new or used vehicle may no longer be a financial option. For the cost of an average down payment on a new car or truck, you can repower your vehicle with a remanufactured/rebuilt engine and gain years of reliable and fuel efficient transportation without monthly car payments.”
With repowering, a worn out engine or an identical one from another like-vehicle, is completely disassembled, cleaned, machined and remanufactured/rebuilt. Unlike installing a used or junk yard engine, with used components and an unknown performance and maintenance history, critically important internal engine parts are replaced with new ones that meet or exceed original equipment performance standards. In many cases, remanufactured/rebuilt engines are even better than the vehicle’s original new engine. They are dependable, reliable and backed by excellent warranty programs that also usually cover installation expenses.
In addition to its financial benefits, engine repowering also saves the tremendous amount of energy used in processing discarded engines and vehicles, as well as saves an incredible amount of raw materials that would have been used in building a new engine.
“By reducing purchases of new vehicles and repowering the ones we already own, we can significantly reduce the impact on the environment and our pocketbooks,” continued Rich.
