there's a wrecker in upstate New York - Eirie I believe, who has a lot of Volvo engines with various miliages for half that kind of money with a warranty. I can't seem to find the website, but another on this forum regularly - MadeinJapan - gave it to me....perhaps send him a personal message. FYI, I just bought a 2.5 LPT with 1800 miles on it from IPD for $2000.00 bucks - mind you, that was a steal, but $4300.00 for a used motor seems a little steep to me.
