I have 240D engine shelled from ingestion of foriegn object and need a new engine. Two questions:
- Are OEM 616 diesels available from MB, and;
- What should one pay for a good used engine?
I know the last question is difficult, but in this case the propsective engine is from a crashed 240D that is in salvage at a highly regarded Mercedes-Benz shop. I have not yet received a price quote from the shop and am trying to get an idea as to typical price, in order to evaluate whether or not it is feasible to replace the engine.
All assistance will be appreciated.
