If you had to get a New Mini Cooper S Engine
 

for a 2011 2 door hatchback... would you buy a used engine yourself off of ebay are trust the local dealer to find one and put it in?

Kinda thinking I should buy a new Engine to retain the value of the car.

Thanks!

This one sounds good...

2009-2016 MINI COOPER R55 R56 R57/LCI R58 R59 R60 TURBO ENGINE N18B16A 18K OEM (Fits: 2011 S 1.6L)

Its listed at $3600, I do want the faster engine if thats an option.

BTW... Its a 6 speed manual transmission if that matters. I'm kinda clueless when it comes to this.
