Default Just heard that Audi has ONE last 20V B3 engine (tall block) they are trying to sell.

I guess they are discontinuing selling the engine direct from the factory with a warranty. Seems like quite a few dealerships will be trying to buy that engine as it will sell for under $1000.

Interesting.

Default Why is that interesting, if true at first place?

Why would a dealership buy that engine? its not like they are going to sell it as a whole and its not a historic piece to put it on the showroom floor either.

It's interesting that a $6000 engine (from an audi parts department) would be sold by Audi for $1k.

Default You didn't get my post, did you?

Why would anybody on this earth spend $2K+ on a 17yr old technology engine? Why do you think Audi is discounting such engine so much?

Default They want it for the same reason

people with no interest in sports buy tickets for the hot teams in any sport. To resell them. A dealer would know there is a demand for replacement engines out there and it they can make a buck, they don't really care how.
