Default engines blown, now what?
so my engine is completely blown in my black 98' ex coupe.everything else is fine, body is in decent shape. if i were to sell this as-is, (it has a carbon fiber hood) what would be a reasonable price?

Sell the shell on E-bay, you should get some kind of offer. As far as price, I'm gonna have to say, 3,500. If your close to Delaware PM me with a price one that hood, dude.

The obvious answer is either buy another D block (for cheap) or an entire B swap (or K...)
It isnt worth much at all with a blown engine.
If anything, fix it THEN sell it.

3500 HAHAH No way.

I bought my EX coupe for 2500 with the body is decent shape and a worn ISB. Motor runs fine. That car is worth maybe $2000 at best.

and no the CD hood doesnt add squat.
