If it runs and the body is in good shape its worth that...

HOWEVER.. be aware, if that's the actual mileage on the engine.... its on its last dying breath and you will be putting a new one in soon

If I lived in Philly, I'd buy it myself to have another TII. But yea, be prepared to drop in a new jdm motor or rebuild it.

from what everyone told me when I bought mine... An S5 TII with NO engine is worth $1500 if the body is pretty straight.

Yea, thats a fair deal. And what people are saying about the rebuild, dont look at it as a negative because it is a positive! Just think, when the engine goes....that means rebuild....when its rebuild time...THAT MEANS LARGE PORT TIME!

thats a decent price for a S5 TII, check if its a rebuild or not, if its a rebuild go for it, if its not a rebuild go for it. id take that deal

What you just said is confusing to understand. Sounds like a little Irish with a southern accent.
