Thats an outright bargain compared to an Engine Swap..

Trade it in for a used one w/3.0L if you cant stomach paying that much for your own mistake..

had no Idea what I was getting into when I chose the 2.0L

May I ask why you're so down on the 2.0, do you feel it isn't powerful enough?

Op this may be a good route to go, maybe you can find a pre-owned 3.0 so that you limit your loss..

Good Luck.

how did you get a 2.0 at 70k? I paid less for my prestige with DAP and adaptive suspension

If you go to the config, the max would be 64k for a loaded 2.0. Then again, I wont want to argue about this with someone who would even consider swapping engines...
