Default good deal on 944 turbo engine?

Guy has it for sale for 2500$ obo I guess. Pic looks clean and he sent me a video of him driving the car right now. He says it's still being driven and as soon as someone is serious he'll pull it out. What do y'all think? Here https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/d/1986-porscheturbo-engine/6772792009.html

So 1500$ for the DME, wiring harness, and everything? Damn I was gonna try and say 2k was more reasonable but 1500$ for all that seems low

Just talked to him again, he said ge needs the money for his sins medical bills, and he has an LS engine he I guess wants to swap in so every part for the engine he will part with for 2000$

I paid $850 for a complete turbo engine, dme/Klr and harness only last year. They really don’t fetch much as the block, crank, head and stock ancillary parts are not worth much individually and a 951 running engine that hasn’t been recently rebuilt/refreshed is a money pit waiting to happen. The 16v are the desirable engines that fetch what he is asking and more, their heads, cranks & blocks part out for good money.

I guess he did some research , ad went to 1500$ obo I'm more interested now in 16v after more research but still feel like it not a bad deal for everything complete?
