Are you sure about the $300 Core charge? Seems low.
While this price is high, they will accept anything for a core as long
as the damage is from an internal failure. Rod through the block! No
problem. Also, there is usually no shipping charge for the engine or the
core as long as you can pick it up at the dealer. Happy to hear the
2.1's are available again.
