I bought a running O-320-E3D for $3500, bolted it on and flew for 3 years. When I tore it down for rebuild, it was still running great at over 2800 hrs. and all parts still met tolerance. I only rebuilt it to increase HP.

I bought one last year for $2K from an estate sale, an E2D for a future project. Too cheap to pass up.

I bought one off of a local bird that was damaged in a tornado DURING the annual inspection but after the engine was done. Running strong at 1600 hrs for $5K.

I bought my narrow deck -A2A for $2500 not including the starter, alternator and carburetor. I am currently rebuilding it now.
