The quality of the engine or 1/2 cut is

If it s few hundred dollars cheaper but you have to cough out another thousand for a bunch of stuff its no savings

The other thing is customer service and guaranteewhat good if they ship you junk

Lastly what it includesengine is the least of your concern- wiring, radiator, computer ?,......

My understandig is their motors vary from great to total crap. they are not car savy they merely sell motors, no matter what condition they are in. Venus seems like a luck of the draw company and they no longer sell inexpensive motors. that article was researched like two years ago. things changed alot since then.

I was thinking of Venus-Auto, they are like 45 minutes from me. When or if you get an engine from them let us know. :)
