that prevent turning a core into a CPO engine? In other words, I have a "massive" engine failure and I ship you the car, what could you find that failed that would prevent you accepting the car/core into this program?
ANY core will be accepted, BUT these cores with massive failures will not ever be offered as a CPO engine, they will be dissected, studied, logged into our records and then their parts that are still good will be filed by part number in my "core bank".

The biggest issue that a CPO engine would have repaired is a cracked head. We are documenting all the repairs of these things and divulging them along with full documentation to the purchasers of the CPO engine, BEFORE we sell that engine to them.

And do you have a list of what you don't do to the CPO engine that you do do to the typical full rebuild?
Not really.. but its a lot of differences, you are buying a premium 18-22K engine on one hand and on the other a CPO engine that has some upgrades made to it that can be done without being totally dismantled. There HAS to be a big difference for the difference in price.

(I've always been fan of compare and contrast questions. And figure such a list would help people chose between the CPO and the full options.))
But the purchasers of the two are completely different.. The CPO purchaser can't even fathom spending 18-22K for an engine, while the purchaser of the updated engine appreciates the fact that he has a car that doesn't need to be touched again.

They are completely different products with radically different price points, both designed to fill a void.

Learn from the original poster...

We have a trailer load of cars on the way down next week, including another from Chicago that has an engine failure.. On the way the truck will be stopping by Louisville KY to pick up a 996 with intermix.. May as well fill that truck up with cars headed to Flat Six!

Hell, we are going to start our own trucking company, just to move cars to and from our facility!

Jake,

Which transport company do you use and how safe are cars from damage, cosmetic or otherwise to and from, or at your facility?
