How much do you still owe on it? The car is 10 years old.

The head gastket is probably the reason you spun a bearing. If there was any anti-freeze in your oil, it washed away the oil in that bearing and caused it to spin. Check your oil now for anti-freeze. Drain it and see whats in there. If there is green stuff in there, they didnt fix it for you, the destroyed your engine. And unless it was covered (the head gasket) nobodys gonna do that job for free. The gasket kit is between $150-$200 and its a pain in the ***.

a napa rebuilt engine. same 3.8 v6.
no miles and a three year unlimited mileage warranty!!!
that was the most expensive but best deal. should get it back in like a week or so.

I paid 550 for mine, from a junkyard with 36,000 miles on it. Cleaner than clean.
