I can dig the price of the car...my Olds would have been that in 1997. Although, it is a 16x7 wheel. Anyways, I digress. I should have been a little more clear on the trans. The new VW Touareg V8's transmission was high $25,000 range. So, with the rounding, call it $26k. I think the V8 engine is some $21,000. Complete long block. Maybe I'll get bored tomorrow and look at some of the pricing on some of those parts.
I know we just had to shortblock and head a 2003 Audi A6Q with the bi-turbo 2.7 Liter V6. Warranty pay on the job was some $15,000. Customer pay would have been some $22,000. And that's parts only. Labor was way above and beyond.
