CLK 55 Engine

I recently had a ring go out in my '02 Clk and now I have an engine sitting in my garage. Does anyone know of a place that buys used engines? The Engine is complete less accessories.

how many miles and how much are you trying to get for it? that might help, ive heard about a few ppl wanting to do a 55 swap so you may be in luck.

Do a compression test to verify the bad cylinder

its not going to be worth much, due to the amount of money this engine needs to revive again.

the heads are the most expensive parts to sell...

I don't want anything outrageous for the engine. It has 101,xxx miles on it, but if its going to get freshened up anyways i figured someone on here might be able to get some use out of it. I know what proper working engines sell for since I just had to buy one and the price i have in mind isn't anywhere close to what I just spent. I may be off in my estimated value, so what is a good price to ask?

Also the engine was running when I drove it into the Shop. It still had compression, when I dropped it off. The shop called me and said it was a piston, ring land? maybe? Not really clear. The reason it isn't clear is because I didn't have the shop tear down the engine and rebuild, I just went with a new engine. I thought the new engine route would be better in terms of time, because I am also trying to sell the car as well. So thats the long and short of it. ALL offers will be considered, best regards

I think you meant $1200 not $12000. Those 500 engines are dirt cheap now a days i see them all around from $500 to $1100 with the range of 70k to 120k miles.
