Not been to local PnP for a few months, so no idea if a 2.5 would be there. Given the age though, I am expecting to see a few in the coming months as they become totalled. Full engines sell for <$200. If you need something faster than a lucky PnP find, check www.auroraautowrecking.com Local to me storehouse of recent enough benz parts.
