:lol: :lol: "I've been here since March 2006, I pretend to be a chick... I have 6 posts... My MOMS EX's motor... Bought for 8,000... I'll take 7,000" Yeah, we're gunna buy something for that kind of cash from someone that's been here a matter of months, has 6 posts, and doesn't even know where the hell to post for sale threads... :rolleyes:

Oh yeah... :lock: :ban:
 
You don't need to be a jerk. I have something to sell and this is the best place. If I didn't have an engine to sell, there is no reason for me to be on this site, right? Duh, you are such a jerk!!!

The guy from DSS told me about this site and said to try and post it here.

IF you are married, you need to get some "more" cuz you are an uptight ass!!!

IF you have nothing nice to say, don't bother to reply. I will await intellegent responses.

For anyone else, I have the spec sheet, and can take pictures. We have no need for the engine and it's just sitting in the garage.

Thank you
 
If you really want to sell that engine, put a price tag on it of $4000, advertise it locally, and take lots of pictures for all online ads, also ebay works well.... $4000 in your pocket looks better than an engine you cant use sitting in your garage....
 
wHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD ASK FOR IT? IT SUCKS TO TAKE SUCH A HIT WHEN SHE PAID OVER $8000.00 AND IT'S NEVER BEEN OPENED.

WHAT DO YA'LL THINK IS A GOOD PRICE TO GET RID OF IT AT?

That's the wrong question to ask these guys...:rlaugh:

Put pics on ebay with the spec's, set a reserve and if it doesn't sell list it again for a fraction lower than previously listed..
 
No offense and to put things in a little better terms...the thing is this: would you pay $7000 for a engine off of an individual reguardless of the actual cost of the engine and especially not knowing them from Adam. I wouldn't, who would. I don't doubt the cost of that engine at all. I have over $6000 worth of reciepts for my 347. But there is no way I would have paid that same money to buy a engine that I have no idea about or the person selling it.

Like mentioned earlier. I would post it on Ebay and set a reserve. That way if it doesn't sell you are only out your insertion fees.
