like they say it was a Gamble...I own 3 Toyotas,,2 corollas +1 camry...Just replaced the alternator on the 09 corolla...I have never known a Engine to blow out...With that said you could have financed a 2012 Corolla for less than $18,000 with a 3yr warranty....It is really a sad situation...I would take the $6,ooo or so engine replacement..to repair the car +buy a warranty...Avalons are somewhat expensive but over the long run it will suffice for the expense....advise you to keep up the maintenace on any old or new car...

You said " I would advise ANYONE who is looking to purchase a car online NOT TO PURCHASE from HIGH Q AUTO in FT LAUDERDALE, "
The only thing I would add to this is to never purchase a car online PERIOD.
A used car is always a pig in a poke even if it's local and you've done all your homework and taken all the precautions. Buying a car site unseen on the Internet is a recipe for disaster.
Your situation sucks and I wish you luck. I just hope this helps other folks.

Here's additional advice: Never purchase a vehicle sight unseen and test-drive a vehicle prior to purchase.

Your posting here may help others avoid this situation.
Buying ANY car without seeing it and test driving it is usually a gamble, at best.
Buying it AS-IS would be another red flag. The seller knows they aren't responsible for ANY repairs.
Hope this, somehow, works out for you....good luck.
