My 2020 GLE250 57K miles engine has seized. It needs a new engine. Some questions
- Prior to the failure, it was worth ~33K. Dealer estimate is 28K. Is it worth repairing then?
- If I had to sell it, how much would it go for and what are the places that buy this?
- Dealer is quoting 28K. They said they could bring it down to 26K. Its still high, will be asking for a goodwill offer from MB to further reduce the cost. Will it work?
- Dealer is using a long block engine (12.7K). It comes with 2y / unlimited warranty. How does that compare to a new and used engine? Which of the 3 option is better?
- To replace the long block engine, labor cost is 11K. Its 33h labor. Does it take that much?
Thanks.
