mint or not, your car aint worth more then 2 grand book value especially with no engine. look it up son, its a old f ing car, not new, its 13 years old. if you got the mind set that its worth some retarded money your nuts lol
mint or not the way you are talking you will still spend more the zzp way then the cars truly worth.
and most of us know what it takes to have these engines rebuilt, we are all telling you its not worth it. dont bother buying or rebuilding a block unless you are planning for some HP if stock is all you want, then get a used engine, these bottom ends can and do last a long time when taken care of.
the arrogance and ignorance is all on you sir.
