If your mechanic is right, and it sounds like he is, you can get that repair for more like $800 at an independent shop. That quote of $5000 is what an entire Jeep like that sells for and a new engine is $2500 not installed. Get another quote. The Overland is a very desirable Jeep and would be worth saving.
