Swap motor or not?
Let's say you deciding on two exact same Integra.
#1. First owner. Well cared for. Looks great for it's age. 180K miles. All OEM stock.
#2. 3 or 4th owner. No past history before current owner. But the current owner did an engine swap and rebuilt, professional done with paper work. Body 240K. Engine 15K since rebuilt.
Same price.
Would you buy #1 or #2?

Let's fix this promptly:
Let's say you deciding on two exact same womenz.
#1. First owner (aka one partner). Well cared for. Looks great for her age. 180K miles. All OEM stock. (Quite a bit of mileage for all OG stuff)
#2. 3 or 4th owner (aka let's be honest double those partner numbers). No past history before current owner (sure). But the current owner paid for a cosmetic surgery "swap" and "rebuild", professional done with paper work. OG Body 240K. "New goods" 15K since rebuilt.
Same price.
Would you buy (errr.....be with) #1 or #2?

I make it a rule to stay away from swapped cars.
