Vans OEM price for Lycoming

[mlw450802]

Van's Website suggests that he sells the O-320 D1A at a substantial discount to the Lycoming price but they appear to be within a few dollars of each other.
Lycoming website: $23,373
Van's website: $23,850
Is the OEM discount offered after you order the engine?

Thanks

Never mind.
I see the lycoming prices are for reman zero time, not new.

And lycoming engine prices are with a CORE charge.

Yup.
It really makes Mattituck, Aerosport Power, ECI, Superior etc look really attractive, relatively speaking.

New Lycoming engines from Van's do not include a core charge. You pay what Van's charges and that is it. I bought one (0-360 A1A).

Thats what I was getting at Roberta, Lycomings website's price would add on a $9000 core charge, vs. Van's who would not. That is the substantual savings Van's is talking about.
