i think its way too much. buy the cheapest car with the most amount of rego and drive it until it dies. fix it only enough to keep it running and throw it away at the end of rego. a corrolla with a 4ac motor would retail for about $1000 in goog nic with rego. its not worth spending another 1g on a car thats worth that little. you put up about $150 to maintain the motor. one of these motors can be bought for around $50, and your counting on it not being thrash or having internal failure. also what does it cost to get it through a roadworthy, think about suspension ball joints, bushes and tierods. these all may need to be pressed out and wheel alignments needed afterwoods, all needing special machinery which very few people have. my opinion anyway. roadrunner [Report message to a moderator]
