- vs acclaim wagon s2
hey people i bought a 1996 vs s2 acclaim wagon about a month ago for 500 just for something to get to work with and that had rego and dude let me drive under his rego till run out.
but since then the engine has been running like **** and knocking or rattling on idle and gets even louder and faster when you rev so i was prity sure the engine was out of it then. checked with a commodore wreckers they said 1500 to get second hand engine thats done around 180-220 000 ks that with labour in putting it in and new engine mounts aswell. is that a decent price?? please let me know.
or
one of my mates mate got a engine at his place that came of his 1996 vs auto sedan done 198000 ks he said in good condition starts and goes good he will sell me for 300 but does not come with alternator, starter motor, coil pack, and power steering and air con pumps.
sorry for being such a noob at this dont know much bout cars bout my mate does and he said the old accessories from my engine will go straight into this other engine? might just have to buy some new engine and transmission mounts.
also please let me know on what else might be needed as were planning to do this weekend in my garage cause dont have 1500 to spend.
