You might see mine go up on Cars and Bids in about another year and 12-15K miles.
Car will have 55K miles, but engine only 12 to 15K

Breaking into the rear window doesn't activate the cars alarm. Hyundai/Kia to make that a $500 option. 😆
The DSG apparently could not handle the torque of the twin turbo V8 so they used the ZF 8 speed AT that could handle the torque
Is a new motor seen as a good or bad selling point with low-ish miles?

But it can handle the R8's 5.2 V10?
5.2 V10 450 hp and 406-413 ft lb torque (DSG rated for up to 450 ft lb torque)
4.0 TTV8. 591 hp and 590 ft lb torque (ZF rated for up to 660 ft lb torque)

Anything with an engine replacement is suspect, when I'm shopping. Regardless.

Agreed. That was a tongue in cheek question
It's certainly a big bill and near the cusp of the fence of making financial sense. If it wasn't for the hot used market that might not be so. Also, I like the car, and that helps. If I hated the car, the equation might favor letting someone else take on the project.
The car was tip top for 11 months. If this is just a one-time aberration, it's not the end of the world. If things start failing like dominoes, it'll be a quick sale.
I think a lot of repairs that would not be feasible because of costs are now viable because of the inflated used market.

This is where my shop's stellar reputation may have value in the "local" market. Large value. I'd be less "suspicious" if this was the shop that had done the engine replacement or had the service records for maintenances vs. say Billy Bob's ABC Repair Company XYZ.
5.2 V10 450 hp and 406-413 ft lb torque (DSG rated for up to 450 ft lb torque)

You are way off on your HP number for the R8; though the torque is about right.
Base engine size 5.2 Liters
Base engine type V-10
Horsepower 532 Hp
Horsepower rpm 7,800
I believe some are up at 550-560 HP with the upgrade packages OEM.
The 450 HP figure is the 4.2 R8.
Didn't realize the "new" 4.0TT's were up that high on the torque curve!!!! That's the latest model figures.
- B9 S4 vs. B8.5 S4 (granted, other variables like engine, boost turbo vs. supercharged) and shift points I'm sure are mapped differently if for no other reason than the DSG being 7 gears vs. the ZF's 8.
-
- B8.5 A4 vs. B8.5 S4 (now this limits the differences to gears and shift points and 1L of engine (and 2 cylinders).
To counteract that 2.0 vs. 3.0 variable, I'd driven cars with the 2.0 engine with DSG to compare to the A4, and same story.The point is, these cars drive night and day different.
It is the torque that the DSG can’t handle. That is the entire point. All years of RS7 have had more than 450 ft lb of torque, so all years of RS7 have the ZF 8 speed AT.
I suspect they don’t want to be paying for replacement of transmissions.

stopped at the appliance shop with the wife intending to order the value priced Frigidaire. After looking at all the displays the wife got attracted to the fancy upscale models (didn't help that the only FD model was a base level unit, not the one we were going to get). She just thought it seemed kinda cheap (though to be fair, it was!). She just really liked the LG in the end so going with that option. It really is nice, lots of features, very fancy looking. Plus matches our refrigerator. Just need to find out when the guy can get one, but we aren't in any big hurry. It was on sale so a pretty good price.
Only ends up being $200 more than the killer deal model, but seems like a fair price to make the wife happy, and not have to hear her complain about it every day.
As a bonus, the place we are getting it at (local store 5 minute from our house) is the authorized repair place for LG, so if we have any issues, I can call him directly and don't even have to go through LG corporate. he can just take care of anything that needs to be done.

IOW The previous name of my email provider is the supposed source. Of course,
that administration of the long defunct email name emails me regularly to get me
to click on something so I can fix my email account which is almost full according
to the administrator. LOL
This is like spoofed caller ID for phone spam.

I turn things off and on, unplug whatever I can find....I was told 10 seconds but do it for 20 seconds.
Finally I use my cell phone and call Spectrum. I go through the prompts and it says to disconnect the modem for 2 full minutes, and it could take up to 10 minutes to reboot.
It takes about 5 minutes, but there goes 1 hour of my life :@

That's the way it sounds...

2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
$800 apiece seems a lot of $ for that. I assume most of it must be labor to get into the inside of the door and then restore the interior door panels.
Back 20 years ago, I remember replacing one on my Olds Delta 88. It was an easy job. I used parts from a scrapped model in a junkyard.

FWIW, I looked at one of the videos about how to replace it. Where would the world be today without You Tube? It’s a little finicky but not 800 bucks worth.

As a fellow Audi owner, can I half jokingly ask if it truly matters which transmission you have when the engine grenades first?
