Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!
Been waiting for somebody to come out and say this. Some came close. Pretty obvious from 1st post and I am amazed that so many people got sucked into it.

Sadly I don't think OP was trolling. My local dealer quoted me 24k for a new engine when I was looking for one

I would never spend that money on a stock engine. You can pick them up on Ebay for less than $3500.

Well when you have had a car with no motor sitting in your driveway waiting on production of a unit that was "almost ready for production" 6 months ago ... it's annoying.. Vorshlag has the 86 on the back burner while they work on other shit.

@CBR600RR damage wasn't under warranty. cant remember the exact details but dealer trying to screw me over with labor/parts pricing. possibly due to what a few people have mentioned, trying to get me to trade in. ended up with a private shop for much cheaper.

Were you sporting a Rolex when you stopped by that dealer?
