New or Slightly Used

BRAND NEW - O Miles Honda Fit engine / Viking 130 just arrived.
First $14,995 takes it.
New is always available from Viking. Just more $$$.

This is a great option. I think you need to get this into your main stream advertising and media, it will silence the "its a used engine... ours are brand new" types. Really I don't know of any Lyc or Cont engines that are not used. My original O290D@ was built in 1959! How many people buy the 30K new Lyc option, I would guess less than 1% of 1% of the market.

It would be nice to think that those building an aircraft are versed enough with mechanical stuff they would prefer this type of assembly:

Rather than:


Viking prefer Honda to do the assembly of the basic block and prefer slightly used 2018 models over hand built blocks by anyone looking for a job. Also, the term "NEW" has no meaning in todays world.
New Chinese pistons for $3 each, or slightly used OEM parts for $100 each - your choice.
Viking have a business model of recycling very low mileage car engines of the latest 3 model years. It is a fantastic way to introduce this technology to aviation at an affordable price.
