Well its 750 cut harness no ecu... 300 more for those so is 1050 a good price for a dirty SR from a no namer? You dont know what your getting and it could crap out on you but if you want to take the chance u may just get lucky.

hardcore scam. The total price is $750 but the auction is for the deposit?! WTF is that about? Oh, and the deposit is "a way of eliminating some of the risk to our buyers, just a safety net for your purchase" but right after that he says "Please note that the 60% deposit is non refundable". Damn, that safety net has a few holes. Then in order to make his engines sound better he ads this "motors are tested working and come with a 100% startup and a 30 day warranty" but again leaves a loophole, "(30 days applies to motors professionally installed)". After this he tries to say "Most importers advertise large warranties, but only validate them on engines no one will purchase" ????!!?? WTF Why would an importer import an engine that no one would purchase? I would think that the goal would be to import engines that people want. I mean, assuming you wanted to stay in business and all.
