Hey guys, bad news my, AM with 40,000 miles apparently needs a new/ replacement engine. It’s a manual and unfortunately it wasn’t my driving that caused it. The AM dealer and an indy mechanic confirmed that it was probably over revved when it was for sale with a potential buyer.
‘instead of rebuilding , does anyone have a source for a used engine? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
located an hour north of Chicago
thanks in advance

 

So sorry for your loss.

A quick check of ebay turned up nothing... I book marked this link a few years ago as inspiration...

Car-part.com, I searched but only found a DBS engine with 15k miles for $12,500. Maybe a swap? Bookmark this site, it is a great resource.

 

Not sure how much it will go for but you could buy this damaged vantage on coparr and pull the motor.

Another member had to have a reman put in and Aston has a new reman program, I believe the price was in the $12,000 range. Much better option than used. I probably still have the PM's from him.
