I am simply posing a hypothetical situation. You fill in your own numbers. As a counterpoint, if one had 200K (or XXX miles) the stealership could argue that it has served it's usefull life and limit their exposure to installing a used 200K engine. Ever heard of a pro-rated tire or battery?

Yes, sounds like it thus far but their determination/offer of remedy has not yet been stated. Unless they have ZERO negotiating skills, it most likely ain't going to be all creampuffs and butterflies.

Not arguing, simply stating a situation to be prepared for. They may simply man-up, replace it, file to insurance and move on.
