Well I saw it.I saw what those s.o.b.'s did to it at Sangera ********.Last cylinder was all metal and rough with oil all over the back of the engine.Cost of new engine from Germany is now $11,000 (and by the way guys and girls it's not really brand new-its rebuilt with a 48 month useless warranty).To re-sleeve the cylinder and pistons (mostly labor) $4000.So with the pink slip in hand ready to sign over,Enrique says ,seeing me upset,offers me a 1985 engine with 130k miles on it for about $2,000.Then he shows me a car (1992 300 d whos owner drove it knowing it was out of oil,seized it and is paying $11k for the new motor).Still in my questionable mode,a lady pulls up in a 1984 300d.I went outside to watch Enrique help her.I could not hear anything,the car was on.So me being boisterous,started a conversation (she praised him as well) and found out her car had 130k miles on it.She starts it,very little black smoke and moves.No frame shaking,muffler shaking or plumes of smoke like mine did.Long story short now, mine never sounded like that.He tells me if I follow his schedule (oil every 3k every 15k bring it to him) it will last a very ,very long time.Wish me luck and he tells me it should be ready next week.
