500 for the motor, what for the car? Couldn't you buy the whole thing, then part it for more?

Heh, that might be a fair price for the motor if you can actually see it run. What do you mean blue engine? Housings painted blue? Blue tag on the front? The good news is if the car is in there for a reason abviously non motor related there's usually a good chance the motor will be okay.

I actually got my reman from a junkyard. No kidding. I bought it straight-up untested for $200. Best $200 I ever spent . Is it $500 if you pull it yourself?
