Shimano E8000 out of Warranty motors??

[LawmanMtb]

Hi people, does Shimano do any type of buy back/exchange for out of warranty motors? or is it just a Stuff you and your bike is furniture so go buy another scenario? i would be happy to hand them my knackered and out of warranty motor AND money for a new one? do they do this though?? (Yea, i know they Should)

Maybe (and a small maybe at that) if they were still making and selling e8000 motors. But now they have stopped, no chance.

How sure are you that the motor is totally knackered? Try these people.

Where did you get the (wrong) information that Shimano are no longer making E8000 motors?
I have a new (one month old) warranty replacement motor fitted to my Eeb right now.

OP. They are still in production but they are not openly available. for retail sale.

Sorry fellas, i probably didn't explain myself correctly, my motor is Ok for now, its got over 2000 miles on it of hard riding though, my warranty has just run out and im convinced the motor won't last another 2000 miles, anyways i was Hoping that someone might know IF Shimano do an out of warranty (i give them my worn out motor and Cash) and they give me a new motor type of thing?, i have looked into having my motor refurbished but it seems the shimano motors are the ones the refurbers don't want to touch

And i also know that i can buy a new motor from Germany for 700 Quid ...

@Gary Are you sure they are still in production or are they just running down their stock?
