DX engine value

Post by Jack92 »

Hey guys

Trying to gauge roughly how much a DX engine with 150k on (working) would be worth?

I have one which my neighbour wants for his golf but I have no idea how much it’s worth.
Only after a guideline or idea :-)

Thanks in advanced

The main problem with engines is they are big heavy things and any sort of shipping is costly so your buyers need to be localish and have some method of getting it home etc...

I'm with BlackGTX on the price but the last engine I got it was free, it was just the engine block and gearbox as the seller just needed it gone ASAP. :-D

Remember to list your engine on eBay as this will instantly double it's value!
