If that was only closer, I'd flip that in a heartbeat. Spend $1200 including a used ECU, maybe challenge it and flip it. That mechanic wanted nothing to do with it if they quote $3500 for a new ECU.

That seems like a weird story.....$3500 to fix the ECU, but free at the dealer?  Why not just tow it to the dealer?

Could be a cheap k24 donor for someone though.

I get the dealer thing. Jeff City doesn't have a dealer and it's a 3-4 hour tow to one.

Ah, that makes more sense.  Tempting, but also too far away.

Pretty sure that drivetrain combo is k-swap gold

Unreal. Dang google got me again. At least the car is pending so I can stop looking at it
