Default Question on new engines

Ok so I want to be sure I am on the right page here. There are folks claiming to be able to buy and sell brand new F20 motors and claim you can still buy them in Europe. Although, one of them claims you can only call a certain dealer in Poland over the phone and that he has the contact to do so ,etc. Same person is selling these for $5k raising even more skepticism since that is less than what Honda ever sold them for new from what I recall. Given that many would love to get their hands on a brand new motor, and that so many know you cannot in most cases (other than some that seemed to have sat in storage for years) I am curious if anyone can reliably confirm or deny this. I am not looking for one just for the record. If mine blew on track I would likely k swap it unless I found a used replacement cheap. But, I also hate to see certain groups I am in targeted by scammers.

So interested in knowing if anyone has definitive info on this.

So it bugged me and I contacted Honda of Poland where these people claim they can buy brand new engines. This is the response, which I expected.

Thank you for your message.
I would like to inform you that Honda Poland do not have any F20C or F22C engines on stock and in addition, during minimum last 3 years there was no sales of such products from HME-PL to Polish dealer network. Like it was mentioned in your message below - Honda has stopped the production of both engines and (at least) in Europe - brand new units are unavailable since years.

There is a possibility however, that some time ago one of our DLRs has bought few brand new engines and kept them in warehouse up to now, but in my personal opinion this is very unlikely. If you will be able to get somehow the Dealer name - than we can contact with the dealership and verify this information.
