It doesn't make it new, but it can add a lot of life to it. If you put a new transmission into it too and check the brakes then you can add a lot of life to the car...but look at the cost and find if its worth it.

To me new is how the vehicle feels, so if you are great on your maintenance and you put a new engine in and take care of the rest of the car then its as enjoyable as a new one, I have a S10 from 2000 that I kept real good and it has 146,000 on it and still looks and runs like it rolled off the showroom floor! However you have to expect things to break and when they do fix them the right way with good parts right away! My S10 drives up and down the Autobahn in Germany daily! I love my old-new truck:)! Good luck with your car!

In my opinion, even a car that's been sitting on the car dealer's showroom floor for 6 months is not new! It's already 1/2 years old. A new car is one that just rolled off the manufacturer's production line. Even then, if it's halfway through the model year, your losing on depreciation when you buy it unless they reduce the price accordingly which they don't do (the sticker price may even be higher than at the start of the year).

to make your car feel new, at least as close to new as one can get, you need to do a lot. Putting in a new engine will give you a better running engine, but you want to rebuild the transmission as well, don't forget to get your suspension replaced all parts, springs shocks/struts, and wheel bearings just to make the car's suspension feel like new. all of which will cost a lot of money, is it worth it to make your high mileage car feel like new or go out and buy a new car, thats your call

No, to get a new car you'd need to replace EVERYTHING. The engine is not the only thing that wears down. But then it's not the same car.
(Includes the chassis, otherwise it's kinda misleading if say you advertise it as new.)

Your new engine will have 0 miles registered on it, but the rest of your car remains in the same condition.

absolutely not. While it may boost the resale value it is still an old car. The brakes, suspension, body and pretty much everything except the engine are still old and are still worn out.
