value of car after engine blew

[mapursch]

I am trying to get an idea of the value of a nicely modified 1998 Civic EX turbo that just lost its engine (number one connecting rod broke during high speed run and punched hole in block). On Autotrader.com, look for a black Civic EX at zip code 54449 (central Wisconsin) selling for $7995 before the engine blew. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you have ideas or questions. Thanks.

depends on mileage on the body also

well according to that there is no motor damage, but if there is no motor included, you can knock off most of the mods listed, id say nowhere above 6g for it.

Thanks. I have not changed the ad yet, because I will re-set the price after I determine its value. The entire engine with all the mods -- turbo, intercooler, etc. -- would be included.

oh ur selling it? i thought you were looking to buy. well are any of the mods salvageable or were they all destroyed by the motor exploding?

All mods are intact. Only a small hole in block; hard to even see it. I am selling it as-is, asking $4995. The local foreign car shop will put in a used engine including reinstalling the turbo for $1450, but I need the money from selling it and just want to sell it to someone who wants to do that themselves.
