Aha. I see. ;-)

No idea sorry. Has it been registered, ie has warranty nearly run out?

That'll be the biggest impact on an as new price, unless a new version is out.

Been looking at a low hour one with a dubious history at 9-9500 euros (i.e. less than a 100 hours but rather abused during that time), not sure what they will do your side of the pond but have looked a couple of times during the search for a new engine and noticed pricing is a tat below our pricing. I would have paid at the beginning of this year when i was still open for such an engine easily 11500 euros for it if it was an 30 inch and new out of the box engine even with limited warranty.

Crate or no crate: Please make sure that the engine doesnt have a (short) history of overheating alarms. the shortblocks are not renown withstanding that very well (for all ins and outs on my experience with that, please contact my psychiatrist directly)

you will not be disappointed by the running costs for maintenance and fuel efficiency(provided you have set it up with the correct prop)
