I guess it all depends on what your getting for it. i got almost everything needed for the swap for $3500 on an engine that 1756 miles. The only thing that I needed to get was the intake, coolant overflow bottle and the wire harness (which happened to be my fault on that one). The people who helped me with the swap though that I got a good deal, and I feel like I got a great deal. Ultimately it always comes down to you get what you pay for.

Front end damage yes and the people already pulled the motor, said it needs the pass front frame piece. They listed the part price and how much the shop said it will cost, with the body parts even they are saying like 1500 to make it like new. BS if thats the case then why is it a salvage tittle? Sounds shady to me thats why i said screw the car i have a 01 neon already just swap it in to mine plus the motor is out already. Charge tubes and intercooler are trashed but everything else is good. They want 3200 obo for the whole car what should i do just buy it or not?

if the airbags deployed, it's an instant total from the insurance company. go look at the car, see how it looks.

Sounds like somebody wants to blow something up. :beatstick:

Well, I guess maybe not if you do it right. But I'd just get the $2,000 together and go for that swap... Especially if it'll come with "everything you need."

you might want to add the door key slots also since your going to use a new key.
