Wanna guess how much ? 2017 s7 new motor
I feel so bad for this guy . This is his 3rd r title car that he has just poured a ton of money, and time in, and he keeps getting hosed .
This car has 17 k on the odo. I did none of the body work , but got stuck replacing all the bent uprights, spindles, rotors , and a bunch of other little stuff to help him get it through Enhanced Inspection so he could get a title . He noticed some coolant mixing with oil, and took it to the dealer praying they would cover it . They denied him due to the r title . Really beautiful car, he is taking a bath. He is just going to send it back to auction .

Sorry I need more info to guess.
A Samsung S7? S7 airlines? The airline engine is mega thousands, but it is not in a car.

Do you mean an Audi S7 ? Used engines are sub $10k on ebay, or am I missing something?

Yeah $46K is stupid, but whats to stop him dropping $8k on a used engine and paying $2-3-4 to have it fitted by an independent shop?
Also what was the damage that left it with a R (Rebuilt?) title? If it was say rear end damage I can see a case to force them to replace a part that was in no way affected.

Probably still cheaper than a Saleen S7.

Could it just need new head gasket, providing he has not run it too much. How hard was the hit?

^^^^^Nope...……….betting he sees 'profit' at the end of the tunnel or the 'joy' of high-end Audi ownership for the price of a used Focus.^^^
I've seen countless guys do it in my area, my neighbor is one except on waaay lower level. Always thinking he's smarter than the guy who's selling the _________ vehicle.

$46K could buy you a new '19 Mustang Bullitt...loaded!
Or...even a well set up 944!
