How much could I get for a '98 LSC motor with 80K miles? The car is still my daily driver so test drives are possible. The motor won't be available until the end of July. I'm thinking of putting a sign up at Carlisle.

Prices can vary of course but 500 is ballpark.

Almost not worth the trouble at $500.

Why are you removing the engine? Is the car wrecked?

Well I paid 50 dollars for a 1998 engine with 64K couple weeks ago.

I'm about to pay double that for a Mark with 116k. I think that motor is worth $700 to me. I guess it's all about what you are willing to pay.

Shoot, my deals get locked up. Stuff all over the place! LOL The 500 dollar price I stated is kinda the price everyone wants to pay for one. The guy I got mine from said he paid 1200 but peeps like to pad #'s.

what do you think inspired that guy to let it go for $50? That's quite a 'loss' on his part

I think the u-pull places around here are about $300-ish.
About 3 years ago, I bought a 98 engine with 67k miles, to put in my 97. I paid $800 for it. Normally, I wouldn't have spent that much for a used engine, but the extra cost was worth it to me, considering the fact that they pulled the engine themselves, and it came with a new-ish set of Kooks headers installed (no extra charge). I was even able to use the engine harness that came with it. They didn't cut one single wire, and didn't hurt the headers either. I was REALLY impressed. Much better than I would have done at a u-pull....
So, in conclusion, I wouldn't expect much more than $500, unless you include a nice set of headers with them.

Thanks for the input. I am doing a terminator motor. I am hoping being able to drive the car before the motor is pulled will make it worth $700.
