Insurance claim ebay engine questions

[Kligan]

OK, I decided that rather than completely rebuilding my 7.3, I would just purchase a "low" mileage engine off ebay. I chose a large diesel specialist recycler and found one with only 142K. However it was in BC, Canada, fine I can wait....

Well it got here and after unpacking, attaching to my engine stand, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning I began to strip it. I have found several things that make me doubt the seller's mileage claim and need opinions. I do have in writing that the compression's were: "All of them were within 5lb or 2%. Range low 380 and high 385". Unfortunately, it was too difficult to rig a starter to my engine stand and test those numbers before I actually get it into my F250 XLT (and then it's too late [img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img] ) So here are the things on this engine that don't make sense for a 2002 with only 142K.

First, the amount and depth of rust. I don't know what they put on their roads in BC but this is MUCH worse than my '99 with 250K!!

I pay a thousand dollars a month for my insurance. Can you tell me if there are cheaper options?

That can't be right. For someone to pay that much for insurance. That's completely insane. Yes, I understand that it depends on the region and the car, but 1k a month is too much. I don't know what criteria you use to choose a company, but I'm shocked, to be honest. When I bought my car, I looked for a good insurance company like crazy. I searched on different sites, like joywallet.com. It was important to me to find a company that would satisfy me financially and had good terms and conditions. I ended up paying $90 a month.
