Default am i getting ripped off?

ok.. im looking to buy a motor from a local junkyard.. he is asking $750 for a D16Z6 longblock from a 95 Civic

So my Question:

is this the normal price for a Z6 out of a 95 civic or should it be lower/higher??

i personally can find that motor for about 200 but i think around 400 is a reasonable price, i think 750 is too much

If you can afford to have that car sitting for awhile, just keep looking around for a good used D series for about $400. I know where your at man, it happened to me and I didn't know any Honda guys... took me about a month to find one but when I did I got it cheap.

fair price 750.00=b series longblocks (exlude b20 b18a1)

fairprice 150.00-250=d series block(y8 may be more $)
