200,000 miles. I would say that it would need some work, not only engine, but without seeing/driving, probably, turbo, trans, clutch assmbly, driveshaft........
I say the whole car should be worth only @ $800.

Yea, I realize that... Just making my comments known. I agree, it's probably junk! Good for a core.

Hey liquid,
Currently I am the high bidder on this item. I don't anticipate being the final winner though. My guess is the engine is shot and needs to be rebuilt. It is going to go higher than I am willing to spend for the block. I already have the other pieces that I need. I think he is being upfront. Buyer beware.

I'd say wait for something better. I spent a couple of months searching for parts to do my swap, It looked hopeless for a while. A little patience and some searching paid off, I ended finding a complete car for less than the parts alone were going to cost me.

Drugs?

I am just wondering what kind of drugs this seller is taking. I want some!! He didn't even post any pics. Has anyone asked him for any? He says "just pop it right in" and you're turbocharged. I can't imagine anyone taking a 200K engine from any kind of car, especially a rotary, especially turbocharged, and popping right into anything!
Really, I'm also not trying to be offensive. I just can't believe some of the guys on eBay. I've bought a lot of things on eBay and sold some things, also. You sure have to know what you're doing or you can really get ripped. I would have thought that he would have at least offered to throw in the carcass with the power plant.
