    I'd be seriously careful about getting a second hand engine out of Saudi (as I Iive here). You never know the history and it might have done 50000kms through 3 summers (@ 50+ C) without an oil change. I'm serious. They are famous for only fixing things when they don't work any more. Maintenance? Why would you do that - it isn't broken yet.

    I might be generalising a bit, but just a few weeks ago I saw a motor stripped at my mechanics from a lexus with exactly that issue. Never changed the oil. Obviously a lot of cars do get serviced but you might not get one of those.

    Sorry, just my 2c worth.
