    7mgte Asking price.

    I'm looking to buy a 7mgte engine. This guy
    HTML Code:
    http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/3086804594.html
    is asking for an asking price but I'm not sure how much I should put down on this engine. My budget is $600. And I'm not sure if that's a reasonable asking price. Help me out guys. He's sending me more pics of the engine and I'll be giving him an asking price on saturday.

    If you offer that much, the seller will either ignore you, or laugh at you.

    around my neck of the woods they go for $500 on craigslist fairly often. usually in fair rebuildable condition with most accessories. just a few months ago i actually snagged a 7mgte WITH an R-154 for $500. i had to take it out of the car in the guys driveway but still, $500!

    just goes to show that it is always worth a try.

    Word to the wise, if AT ALL POSSIBLE make the offer To / in front off his wife or girlfriend. they usually dont like to hear their man turn down $500 for something that takes up the only other parking spot in the garage... lol
    The Supra is gone... What a fun project!

    I don't know much about engines and pricing them, that is why I'm asking you all. I figured $600 would be too low. Thanks anyways.
