Default What do y'all think?

So I'm hoping insurance finds my car totaled. I am looking for another S2K, 2001 or up.. in Rio or Red only and so I found one out of state but price seems a bit steep for his asking. I was thinking to swap my motor out of mine into this? Lemme know!

Selling price is so cheap because the engine ran low on oil. It still TURNS OVER and is NOT SEIZED. WILL NOT START AND DRIVE YOU HOME. U'll need a tow... unless you want to completely blow the motor AFTER you buy it. thats up to you. Clean title, 110K, AP2 font end (duh)

Unless I'm missing something, you didn't mention the price... Unless its only a few thousand bucks I would just buy one in working condition.

He is asking $ 7,900 I think.. And if its totaled I would be buying it back for pennies on the dollar.

The guy selling this car is in riverside California. Idk about u but I see this as very sketch... Guy claims that the crank case needs to be re-polished and how he found this out is by having his mechanic look under the engine through the oil pan to inspect it... That in itself I find it hard to believe. I could be wrong but hey I'm just looking out for u. This ad has been up for a long time now. I wouldn't touch it if I were u cuz this car has obviously been neglected. But if u think u can go ahead and score on it by all means go for it.

Idk about his motor. If mine is deemed totaled, than I will just drop my motor in the car. Than either sell that motor or rebuild it, idk.
