Hey guys there's this guy trying to sell a complete integra type r short block for 1200 and supposidely he says it has only 8M on it. Do you think its a good price?

 

8 miles? i just paid a hell of a lot more for one with 0 miles so id say thats a good price. kinda fishy if you ask me...

 

If he has papers I'd say thats a good buy.

It has 8000 miles and about the papers i don't know if he has papers because he says he bought the complete longblock from the dealer and deciding to go b20 vtec. I always wondered how do they put a vin # when you buy a complete new longblock from the dealer?

I believe new long blocks from dealers do not carry a vin #

 

yes, thats a damn good deal.

I just sold a JDM shortblock w/ under 40k miles for 1300

it doesnt have JDM pistons in it, but 8k miles, you cant go wrong

easily worth 1400

 

Ask for PAPERWORK!!! For all you know, that could be a stolen engine from someones car, who used to post on this site! Bug him about all the relivent information and by all means, if it is stolen, do not fund the black market and give this 'potential' ******* another reason to go steal something.

$1,200.00 just doesn't sit right with me. Legitamate businesses are selling them for 5K and the stearership is around that price also.

Its a shortblock not a longblock, but yeah defitnely get some paperwork if you do decide to buy it

 

I'm inclined to agree with Brandon; $1200 is really cheap for a '01 USDM ITR shortblock. You really ought to check out the legitimacy of it first.

If it's a USDM shortblock, the seller should be able to provide you with either:

a) proof of purchase from the Acura dealership
b) VIN of the ITR that it belonged to

Right? If the seller is not inclined to disclose this info, that should be a red flag.

Not only this, but you could also do yourself and everyone on this board an inadvertent favor and call the cops to make sure this guy isn't stealing our cars anymore.
