9 bills for a stock ka and transmission with 125k miles f*** that good luck. you can pull a full dohc from a yard here for 200 bucks and a transmission for a flat c note

[jesse_tijero7]

maybe you can get one where you from, but I've been lookin on nico and Zilvia and i see them goin for around 400-500 with mechanical problems and 140k.plus if i were to sell it it'd be obo. either ways im just wondering. haven't fully commited to what i wanna do with it. thanks for ur help tho i guess Lol...

if it is a full swap, i would sell it for $500

not alot of people are going to play $900 for a ka when you can pay $1500 for a sr..

alot of people still hate on the ka

but $500 is a good solid price

[J240sx]

$500 sounds good.. for $900 you could just about get a ca18.

[jesse_tijero7]

^Thats true. He did say it was missing the engine harness though so whoever purchased it would have to source one of those as well.

True, but most likly if someone is buying a KA, they already have a 240 with a ka in it and a harness, but I assume too much.

Dont know why, but, I find it hard to believe that prices for USDM engines are higher in Ca. Why would that be??? And why would someone pay $400 more for the same engine you can get in another state for $500?? Just doesnt make any sense to me. OP, keep the engine, you have way too many miles and you dont have a harness, so $900 is a blastfamous number for a stock KA missing a harness. Complete swaps here in Jersey out of the junk yard go for $250-$300. Probably cost $250 to ship to you, so, if you were to sell it, I would ask for $500, thats a fair price.

You'll probably be seeing that post for a while, unless that engine is built and is more involved then yours, meaning that maybe it has cams....? Not sure why the high prices though.
