There is a guy on craigslist selling an 85 GTS coupe with a bad 4A in it, but he has a silvertop engine+ecu to be put in. The Silvertop has ITB's and a lightened flywheel. He wants 2500 for it all, but I just want the silvertop. How much do you think I should offer?

Does it have an uncut engine harness, ecu, AFM, and ignitor?
If so, it's worth about $1200 depending on the mileage. Without one or more of those items it quickly drops to around $800, depending. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

Well, I think that if he has all of that, I will offer him 800 and see if he'll take it.. That will just use my tax return for the past 3 months, and then I will probably send my Harness far far away so I don't screw that up.

Okay. Before you make him the offer, ask what he needs to get for just the engine set. Once he tells you, tell him that you think that it's too much. Don't make an offer until then.
Then when you're ready to make the offer, show up with the cash, and make sure he sees it. (Have a friend with you obviously). Count it out for him... and if he won't take it, make a slightly better offer. Like $850. Pretend $800 is all you have aside for it but you can take another $50 out of your week's spending cash. If he doesn't take it, leave your number for him and walk away. Remember, the instancy of cash is a powerful tool, as well as "walk-away power". You have to mean it though. There's not a big market out there for silvertops, especially when you're not selling it on ebay or something. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Dec 18, 2005 - 3:52 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

I might be going over to look at it this weekend, but with it being christmas and all, I might not have a chance, so maybe next Friday I can go pick it up and bring it home.
