erm, maybe u shud send ur car to prtn branch to examine. They can rebuild the engine, n i think the cost will be lower than 11k. Only need to replace worn part, not the whole engine.

Another option, of course, half cut. But i just recommend on rebuild part@overhaul coz i think it will be at lower cost n no need to think about matching the new gbox with the car(many things need to modify to take diff gbox that come with halfcut engine). N if ur sister own cvt flx@even getrag manual, hard to sell coz for the moment, its only for prtn flx n preve. If buy diff engine, cant just simply bolt the old gbox. So,its a waste then.Why pomen outside recommend change engine i think , whether they dont have the part, expertise@it is easier to sell new engine, less work, more money, ratherthan repairing, less money.

N another note, whether either transplant new engine or rebuild the old one, need to advise ur sister to follow the service maintenance schedule n rules n also service it at appropriate workshop, if not, it will be the same after 7 month.
