Probably will be hard to sell for any more then $1000, just because you can pretty much build your own for that!

i mean for everything bottom end and head all that not more then $1k?

A stock rebuild with nothing more than ARP fasteners? Like Dave said...probably not over $1000.

ARP headbolts, mainbolts and rodbolts

700 sounds about rite

32k is about 31.5 k away from saying rebuilt, $500 is all I'd pay.

but look at this jdm 4g63 motor and trans shipped with about the same mileage for $1750 =http://cgi.ebay.com/JDM-MITSUBISHI-ECLIPSE-4G63-AUTOMATIC-AWD-ENGINE-TRANNY-/120448435435?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c0b4944eb

The seller is making money off of that, plus the trans is around $350 then there is shipping from japan, then has to be shipped to the buyer, so thats still only around $1000 for the motor!

^ Correct. They obviously have to pay to get it to Canada from Japan, and then you pay shipping to get it to you once you buy it. Subtract shipping and the transmission's value and you have the engine at a shade under $1000 WITH the turbo, injectors, manifolds, and a pile of other parts of value that would normally not be included in a private party sale.

Not to mention that seller has only moved ONE of those engines four months ago, so they're obviously not flying off the shelves. If you're pricing it for a quick sale, prepare to take a hit.

the motor my buddy is selling comes with no fuel injectors,no ecu,no a/c either

 

[JusMX141]

Exactly. So you're looking at $500-$700 as a good pricing gauge....maybe start at $750 or $800 and come down according to interest- or lack thereof.

Thats kind of sad but pretty much right on. Even if I did buy something like that I always take it apart and inspect everything anyways. Almost all the same work as just building my own so the value might not be there for me. Alot will depend on your buyer. Try putting $700 on it and you can wiggle down from there.

 

[T is for TURBO]

I paid $300 for a running, "rebuilt" 6bolt long. That included everything minus turbo and exhaust manifold. Don't expect much. Used is used. I sold a running low milage 7bolt with turbo for 5 bones. And they guy was hesitant to pay that much.
