(New owner question)Need an engine for a 98 passat!
 

Does anyone know where I can get one for less then $1500? I purchased this car from my ex, and we're not together anymore. The problem was supposed to just be the water pump, and I had that and the timing belt replaced, and then was told the compression is really low, 2 cylinders were tested at 35 and 15 PSI. Was told an engine is what is probably needed. ANYBODY know where I can get one???

2.8 V6 Automatic with 141,000 miles on it. Would sell it for 1500 but am trying to find a cheaper engine!!!
