30$ for an engine?

 

That sounds way too good to be true...

What foolishness. The seller doesn't even indicate what year the motor is, and then basically says it'll cost $258 for packing and shipping, on top of the bid price. You pop it in your car and it doesn't run well, you're immediately out your labor plus $258 time 2. If it's so good the dude would sell it to a local salvage, not on eBay. Any recycler selling quality merchandise installs heat tabs which indicate if you cook the motor with improper cooling so they can void the warranty--where are they in the photos?

 

Sorry

No Man! I meant the seller on eBay!

 

Don't be sorry for pointing something like this out to everybody. I almost bid myself for the spare parts and just to have it to tear down/apart and learn from. Somebody out east could pick it up or get cheaper shipping and maybe do well.

These guys are a real company. I've purchased something from them in the past, maybe an ECU - just can't remember what.

Can you say...SCAM!

 

if you think about it... shipping is prolly around $100+ for that thing, plus the winning bid which was like $40. So $200 for a motor shipped doesnt seem like a scam to me!
... then again it has 107k on it and probably hasnt started in god knows how long, lol
