Hey guys,



First post here, I actually have owned a couple of Honda's but I was on model specific forums for those so I created an account here to get some advice about another Honda vehicle.

Year: 2009

Make: Honda

Model: Accord LX Coupe

Engine 2.4L I4

Mileage: 250K or so I believe



His son ran it out of oil and seized the engine from what I understand. I am looking at having to swap the motor to get it going up and running which does not seem like too big of a deal. Couple of things I am curious about:



1. The car is a MT, does an Engine out of a AT bolt right up?

2. I am assuming swapping the engine in this one is not too bad but I am curious about that.

3. Is it worth the time?

4. How much should I pay him for the car?

 

After looking at the car in person, apparently the engine is not seized. It will turn over it seems but it will not turn on. They informed me that it was indeed dry on oil when they first looked at it. I am not sure Honda has a safety feature built in where if the engine is below a certain point on oil that it will disable the engine from actually turning on.
