500 bucks isn't too bad is it? i know it has fairly high miles but still

umm, you should ask if the timing belt was replaced first, cause the motor has about 98k on it, a little much but for 500 you cant beat it, but dust has the best deal with his i think it had 50k+ on it for 550

good luck

 

I got my '99 engine for $550 + $150 shipping.

It had 29K miles!

I only had to replace the oil pan (which I took off of my old '97 engine).


Who ever buys that engine will need to change the timing belt and water pump. Also wouldn't be surprised if the valves need adjusted as well as new head and/or valve cover gaskets.

Mileage is too high, IMO.

 

is the 99 engine better than the 97? by what means?

 

99 vs 97.

Newer engine means more than likely it has less miles and wear and tear on the internals. Just va general observation.

98K vs 29K, I'd rather have the 29K engine if you ask me.

 

I can get a 98 model 3.0 motor for $450.00 plus shipping with 40K on it from my local salvage yard. Let me know if you need help.

 

You could find one with less miles than that.
