Does this price sound right for a engine?

1991 RX-7 13B WITH HARNESS AND BRAIN
ALT,STARTER,FLYWHEEL AND BRACKETS $
1750.00

i got quoted from someone and was wondering if this is overpriced, about right, or a steal?

Thanks for your replys.

If it runs, i'd say about right. If it doesn't, then you're being ripped off.

yes, no as in it's a rip.

i'd sell you mine for WAY less, under 20k miles and etc. but it's an S4.

i got an S5 TII long block in GREAT condition, with all of that plus a tranny INCUDING shipping for $1000.

edit, what are you putting this in? does your car already have a motor in long block form?

****, I can build you an 89-91 NA engine to spec with all longblock accessories for $1750, with a warranty. For a used engine with any more than a couple thousand miles that is a ripoff. You can buy whole 89-91 NA CARS for that much...

I would spend the money on a rebuild and you'd defintely know what you have. Unless you totally trus this individual, you don't really know the exact mileage. Personnaly i wouldn't do it.
