16v M28 engine price
What do you guys think is a fair price for a 4.7 litre K-jet engine, out of car, hasn't been running in many years. Can't be heard running. Compression etc unknown, internal condition unknown, milage unknown. All the accessories and intakes are off....
Guy wants over $4k. He said he'd heard from wreckers (breakers, dismantlers) that the engines are going for over $5k alone.
I could use a parts motor, but the last complete car I bought cost me half that!
Just out of interest, a wrecker down the road from me has a complete 32v 5 litre with all accessories that he'll let go for $1750. Was running in car a few weeks ago.

200 max. If it were running, + + + + + + + +
It just has to be considered junk, if you have no way of knowing the running status.

Stuff is so cheap in the US.
Like...you guys think a 100k car is expensive ! Unfortunately in OZ we get reamed. It's not known as "Treasure Island" for nothing.
That's what happens when you get the worlds wealthiest people, all nicely isolated down the bottom of the world. It's BS.
We routinely pay double or triple what you guys pay. It's total bullsh*t. Half of that is government taxes. I get over to the states a lot and I want to cry. I'd bring back 20 container loads if I could !
E39 M5's for 15k !! *sobs*

I know of one excellent engine with lots of good bits in QLD but requiring a full pull down as they all do btw. Or I have one that is 2 valve CIS but 5.0 litre with all new parts. will be around 400 horsepower at the crank. That is more money. Cylinder head seen in my avatar.

Hi Madturk.
To be honest I think the best bet for me is to find something locally. If I run out of options though I will be in touch
Thank you ! Much appreciated.
