I just had a friend of my missus ask me about putting a new engine in her VY wagon. I showed her some prices of fully reconditioned and second hand ecotecs that Id found online etc, and she ended up deciding just to sell the car instead. She rang the wreckers and asked them about it, they offered her $800 for it, so when she asked me about the wreckers and the $800 offer, I offered her $1000 for it instead, so she accepted that. Ive given her a deposit until payday until I can get the rest of the money together and go pick up the car. But I just wanted to find out what these cars are roughly worth, and is it a good buy for a grand, as Im just gonna buy a low k's engine, fit it myself and then resell it. The rest of the car is in pretty good condition, the car has done around 300,000 km, it has 5 new tyres and 4 months rego. The only thing I could see that was wrong with it, was a couple of the door trims have broken plastic over the spekers? or whatever,anyway, I noticed that these are broken and will need repalcing, maybe a wreckers? Also the car is a dark blue colour.
