Javvy - Thank you! - this is just what we need - not a load of BS about modifying the car without any real appreciation of what a large undertaking that is without support.

The OP has reported what I would suspect. Europe is expensive although Steve has very good contacts that he has access to. In throw away America where used car prices are low & insurance companies total them for minor accidents - used engines are cheap.

BTW - Javvy - compared with South Africa that is a hell of a good price! - Thank you for the help. That is the spirit of this forum

Javvy

I think the OP should get a nice engine with low miles for around 3K-3.5K easy and then he could ship it to his country..........

Javvy

thanks Glyn & Viggo, man any day and in any way if I can help a fellow member it is my pleasure...........let me know if you need any more help....

Thankx
Javvy

This seller on Ebay has access to almost every MB remanufactured engine you can think of: http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/metricmotors2/

Thanks John

the srt6, c32, slk32 are all the same engine. All the engine components are the same. I don't know if the 7speed will work with the engine though. Its something I would ask your local mercedes tuner. I know the c320 tranny will bolt up with no problem and can hold the tq.

Another option is Potomac Auto who claims to be one of the largest salvage yards for European auto's in the U.S.

They are currently listing 4 engines for 4750.06. They vary in mileage from 44,000 to 63,000. They have a Florida and a Maryland location, but I did not look at the Florida. Both locations have a link on their main page. They seem to run the two locations separately for inventory. I would think they would be worth a phone call.

Autopartsfair.com has a few engines listed, but I'm not sure if they actually have any in stock. I called about six months ago for a new rim and, even though it was listed on the site, they didn't actually have any to sell. Regardless, I think they're fairly reputable. The price is a few hundred more than $4,900, but it will come with a warranty.
