[Vwdiesel] Good price on TD engines?

[Will Taygan]

Loren, I called these guys and they said they don't deal in diesels..
hmmmm....  Is it always this frustrating to find a good used engine?
I've got one that needs a rebuild, but that's a project I don't need.
if I rebuild something, I want it to be a turbo block :)
