That's true $600 IS 3 times $200. But that doesn't mean that the engines in general are 3 times the price... they aren't. I'm just showing you yet another example of something you can't get with the ABA. You won't find 30 of them for $600 shipped, all with under 8k miles on them. And for the $200, the ABA will still have way higher mileage. Sorry about the long link. Actually it would be much more helpful for me to see what you mean if you go to car-part.com and lookup what you're talking about and tinyurl the link to me... pmail perhaps

Jim

Page 75 of 101 of results.

Our average price paid is $600 shipped to boston, all less than 8k miles across 30 engines so far, that is very hard to find in anything else.

That's a pretty generic link.

I poked around but could only find zetecs in the $1000 price range.

The zetec sounds like a nice engine. Too bad you can't buy for $200 like the ABA.
