Subject:$ value of a good 1.9l waterboxer?
From:Stephen Davis

Hey Volks,
        I am thinking of replacing my waterboxer with a in-line 4 golf motor.
How much is a good running 1.9L waterboxer worth?  I am trying to
decide if I should swap motors now and sell the waterboxer or run it
into the ground and then replace.  I am looking for a reliable motor
for long (>1500 miles) trips and a little more power.  I have not done
a compression test on the waterboxer but it runs very well and get good
gas milage.  The only oil it uses leaks out the bottom and that is less
than a quart between oil changes.  It has about 100,000 miles on it.
The head gaskets look good (as if you can tell from the outside).  I
think the DPO may have changed them before I bought the van, but I am
not sure because she was in Latin America and I was in Maine when I
bought it.  Offer?

TIA,

Stephen P. Davis
