hi,<br/>I've recently come across such a sentence:<br/><br/><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);"><i>The engine on this car works <b>like as</b> new</i></span><br/><br/>I personally would say either:<br/>The engine on this car works like a new one<br/>or:<br/>The engine on this car works as new<br/><br/>I want to ask if the form "like as" sounds natural to native speakers?<br/>thanks in advance<br/>
