Hello, I might be picking up a 3dr SVT Focus in the next week and I had a few questions.

The car has 56k miles on it, it is a EAP with Moonroof but the bad part is it needs a motor. I have searched some junkyards and have not come up with a used engine.

Should I just have the existing engine rebuilt? The previous owner seized the motor due to lean conditions, so I don't know what is good or bad in the engine compartment.

The only reason I am considering this is because it is going to cost me less than 2k for the car.

Your help is appreciated.
