    Um $250 + $200 shipping for a used engine? Really? Call some wrecking yards in your area, you can get them for probably less than half that, already pulled, picked up and ready to go. Also, as far as "if the guy is legit" did you not notice the 42,000+ feedback??

    These guys are legit, just bought a condenser from them. It shipped quick. haven't tested it yet. But like the feedback suggest. These guys are in it for the long haul.

    Isn't that a bit much for an A20A3?

    Are any parts of a car stamped with the VIN, like the tranny? I guess not the engine.

    Haha, I almost got $400 for the engine in my parts car, but I couldn't sell the shell afterwards, so I told the guy no.

    It's hard to find low mileage engines now-a-days, though. I forgot to say engine and transmission, though. That makes a huge difference.

    If it is indeed a low milage engine it is worth it, whats killing the deal is shipping. I have looked through junkyards from Fl, VA, CT, TX and CA. Low milage engines are hard to come by.
