That means if I blow a T5 on the car I need to get to work, I can't shell out 700 bucks right away for a rebuild, and I'm taking the bus to work.

If you expect a car with 100k on it to have the engine and tranny last more than 20k miles after purchase, I think your expectations are a little high. Although 5.0 engines go 160k+.
