it depends how many miles are one the car, what shape the car is in, and how the motor is dead. if the housings are screwed, you arent getting much at all. i would say at best you will get 1000 if the car is in perfect shape and has fairly low miles.

Honestly a blown motor in most cases is in a car over 150k miles, I will pay between $50 to $125 to come pick it up if it had a straight body and no rust.

Most wrecking yards will charge you to pick it up.

I had to give away my 85 GS with blown o-ring seals. It had 160k and was a rust free colorado car.

I wish you were in Wisconsin when I was trying to get rid of it!

I had it in the Milwaukee and Madison newspapers for a month, had some interest but no bites.

Then I tried to donate it and Goodwill wouldn't pay to tow it away so I ended up giving it to a junk yard, Momo steering wheel, new tires and all.

And another $1000+ to get to your house. Its a the laws of supply and demand, here in California there is a lot of supply and little demand.

I have 7 rx-7 on blocks and 2 runners in the garage. The most I paid for any of the ones on blocks was $125 cause it had a running motor but was hit in the front.

The 2 - 2nd gens were fuel rail fire victims and paid nothing for them.

SO $100 is about what it is worth here in California.
