Yeah, that is the gamble with engines, not knowing the KMs sucks too.

But at least your talking to the right people. Doug/STechnic are a good mob.

I've got one from my 99.
It had around 165000km when I changed to a 207.
$800 if your interested.
Not burning any oil.

Hi
A mate of mine bought an engine off this forum about 2 weeks ago,he just realised that it wont fit his car (MY99 engine into MY97 car)
So he's selling it on.
He wants what he paid for it $1000
AFAIK its been rebuilt

kms arnt the be all and end all - I can kill a brand new motor in 2km if you want.

1000 bucks sounds fair for the above one if rebuilt - do a leak down and compression test.

Second hand engines are a gamble no matter what

probably a good reason why it was at auction and not a private sale.
