91 V8 Quattro - Lemon?

[Mark J. Besso]

A friend of mine picked up a V8Q for $600 knowing it needed a transmission. 
(Automatic)  He parted it out for many, many times the initial investment.

I'm using the engine for a non-boosted duplicate of Marc Swanson's project.

  They do - they can buy your car if they think you weren't being very

  I saw one for sale in RI for $600 - so its possible to get them
cheap...

  I think the engines sell regularly for $1k or so (to Marc Swanson).
  
  Doesn't Lemons have a kicker to keep an eye on value cheats, that they
  can buy the car for $500 if they want to?
