the question is , is it worth it to you to spend that kind of money. If it is I would search for one with relatively low miles with a warranty. Here is one with 24K miles on it and up to a five year warranty from car part planet around $2300 https://carpartplanet.com/used-2014-subaru-xv-engine-assembly-39361.html?CampaignType=BingShopping&utm_source=bing

You can do a lot better on that price, look into getting a reman engine, buying a used scrap yard engine is risky. Shop around.
