You're also right about the flood title being a deal breaker. That's another thing mine has is the clean and clear title. A motor can be replaced a shit title cannot. Yes the R200 kit is expensive so when the "glass rear end" goes out of that car there's more money to put out after you pay 19k for it. Also his car is only street tuned at the moment.

Anyways a motor, trans, ecu, and harness swap can be had for around $3,500ish depending where you look. Then you would have a spare trans as well. Even paying that someone could be in this car for 15-16k running again with a clean and clear title, matching paint, and authentic parts as opposed to 19k.

However I'm not trying to bash the other guys car just merely using it as an example. Your offer of 5k is appreciated, but I'm going to have to pass as there would be a lot more than 5k to make on this car just by parting it out.

Basically to sum this up you're telling me my car is worth $5k because it needs a $3k motor in it, but if I put said $3k motor in it then it would be worth $20k?
