    Engine purchase, lq9

    Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some opinions.

    I have the chance to purchase a LQ9 out of a wrecked Escalade. It had 225,xxx miles on it. $850.

    Does this sound like a good deal?

    Make sure you can hear it run before pulling. Just my 2 cents.

    i got mine for 1400. it came with ALL accessories, pcm, harness, maf, air intake, starter....COMPLETE pullout. now i have half as many miles as you did and i live in cali so prices are higher. aparantly prices differ depending on your region. thats about the going rate around here. just to give you somewhat of an idea.

    but yes, make sure you ca hear it running or if its already pulled at the very least make sure there is a decent warrantee on it and try to get it installed before warantee is up. mine was a pullout so i couldnt hear it. they swore up and down it ran when they pulled it so i busted my ass to get it up and running before my 90days was up. luckily i didnt have any problems.
    Like Tumbler in "Gone in 60" I'll drive anything with wheels or without

    not really a bad price, what i would try and d is deal on it, if you can get it cheaper the better cause with that mileage id go ahead and rering it.
