So i have been looking to buy a spare engine to get my car running until my engine has been built (if i decide what im actually wanting built) and haven't been able to find a single engine under 2 grand!

Are they really that expensive now? Or am i looking in the wrong places (ebay, gumtree etc). Anyone bought one recently that wants to chip in with what they paid?

Cheers

Yeah they really are! I had to recently bite the bullet and shed out £2500 for a low mileage '03 engine. And that was for just bare engine no inlet or anything!

They are going stupidly expensive because of the demand for kit cars.

I paid 1800 I think of of salvage kings on ebay after a bit of haggling.

Everything was smooth , they were willing to take less if paid via credit card instead of going via eBay and paypal.

Shipped straight to Rich at Performance Autoworks.

Could buy this and get the whole car - http://www.gumtree.com/p/honda/damag...ic-/1121476871

That's very cheap for a salvageable car, could use the engine, break and sell the rest and recoup most if not all of the £2k
