I got the engine for $2000 "as is" and it turned out to be in good
shape although I expected it to be worse.
When I sold the 1 GM, I really didnt know what it was worth and didnt
want oto hassle with people getting it and then for one reason or
another being unhappy so I advetised it on the internet for $450. My
phone rang like crazy and a guy drove all the way from New Orleans (450
miles) to get it.
Maybe I just got lucky.
We also have no diesel repair places nearby so I expected to have to
sorta "shade tree" it . Its only a diesel, not rocket science. (Gawd,
how many times have I said stuff like that and been wrong)
