I have seen fc's as cheap as 995 dollars in running condition. but remember you get what you pay for. Just shop around. If they are selling them really cheap there is probably a good reason for it. But I think you should be able to find a decent fc for 2000 dollars.

My base 86 N/A cost me $2000. Had 125k, repaint on body, good interior with normal faded carpet. Brakes were excellent. Since purchase I put on new shocks and springs, changed out diff and trans fluids, new master and slave clutch cylinders. Had to put on new tires as well. After all that the car was and is still in great shape.
I would think you could find a nice one for that price but you will probably have to give it alittle work. Oh, had to do the re-soldering on the CPU, the wiper switch and the clock. Great car.

U dont get what u pay for when it comes to fcs. Some people sell them dirt cheap. I was selling mine on ebay for 2000 6 months ago. It had 10k on complete engine rebuild. 40k on clutch yoko tires , tps , race pads. I had performance parts for it too. Ran mint untill a short in the wiring harness occured and It needed to be replaced. Because of that now one trusted it. I replaced the wiring harness myself for 150 bucks and 10 hours and got the car runing mint again. So screw everyone. It was a series 5 too.
Do what I did. By a lightly blown fc for few hundred and get a complete engine rebuild. Quote I got was 19-2100
Ended up costing 2300 but he did an excelent job. After this I had a perfect runing car that I know will last a long time instead of always having to worry about a used one. Hope That helped.
