    Hey everyone I live in Detroit Michigan and I just replaced the engine in my 2012 Audi Avant. I'm looking back for a way to sell my old motor does anyone have any ideas? Scrap yard or any places that buy core motors?

    Part out the engine online. I've bought and sold several engines and parts that way. What failed?

    list it on the forums in the classifieds or ebay w/ local pickup only option or your local craigslist. I don't think any scrap yards would come to you and pickup a motor.

    Then plan to get near nothing for it or give it away. That motor is only valuable as parts, and only to someone willing to give the time to part it. Sucks but that's exactly why parting things out is a profitable venture.
