There is no way a motor like this, so new (2010), 1,5l and only 26.000 miles to be so cheap. Also there is no way, to give only 6 month warranty on such a new engine.
It's too cheap to be true. All the companies lies. Even the reliable ones. They just open the motor, they clean it, they change some damaged parts and you can't tell if its 20.000 mile engine or 100.000 mile engine or even worse. There is absolute no way. Trust me.

Be careful drawing conclusions based on North American vs European markets. These things are not big ticket items over here.
