That's the uncertain part at this time, if the engine or transmission will actually be replaced. I thinking long term, come time to sell would you be interested in someone trying to sell a higher end SUV with something along the lines of 150,000kms on car only 60,000km on engine ?

Pretty much what BlackArcher just said, if they don't replace the engine knowing it was run without engine oil for an undetermined amount of time and it blows up in a year, then what? Engines for those things run upwards of $15K-$21K.
