milage is nothing, compression test is everything, unless you are planning to rebuild it, then pay core price only. Also the condition of the turbos matters.

$600 on the high end, $200 on the low end?

Well actually, compression isnt an all knowing thing... My 85 was like almost 90 or so, and then BAM front rotor blew... Rotary=almost no warning!

Compete Id pay no more than 500

I know that compression is not an all telling thing, belive me! But it is the best way to judge a motor in my opinion. I lost a motor I put in my '83 with good compression in like 2 weeks.
