$5500 + $4000 = $9,500..

And whatever you can make out of parts, which I'm sure is over $1000.

Me: Reading through your ridiculously long OP, and saw the $9k value. I thought stocks had gone up and the stars were in alignment so I put my car on Craigslist today. It sold for 8500.

What a deal.

Thanks for your insight.

REALLLLLLLEEEEE?

Wow

lol i made a post in the parts for sale section

Gauging interest on who wants what.


and i doubt you sold yours for that price


ill know whats going on by friday or monday

You shouldn't have reported it to the insurance company, they don't want to lose money so of course their going to total out your car. If it was mine, I would take the loss, buy a decent used engine and drop it in. Sh!t, my old Monte Carlo was on it's 3rd engine when I sold it.

I'm Handling it currently.

If i ever blew my motor, the last thing i would think is to report it to the insurance company...hell a low mileage L26/36 goes for less than $600. Doing the swap isn't all that bad either...

Yeah, I really don't see why he reported it...

just get another GTP and swap stuff over to it
next time don't report it and drop a built motor in that thing and goto town

gmpartsdirect.com: Alternate GM Catalog

GM Parts Direct shows 3.8 SC engine for $3136. Would this work?

why would u pay that much for a brand new motor, when u can get a low mileage one for fraction of that cost. unless u got money to spend like that... i paid 600 and some change for mine.

Dude.

No offense, but you need to wake the F' up.

Or just give me all your money, and I'll spend it correctly.

I had to put in 2004, no 2003 SC mill for some reason. 2003 showed 3.1 only, not much help unless you want an econo-express. Arrrrrrrr!!
