If you pay up in front, you need to deal with reliable shop/person.

There are many shops actually don't have the swap kits in the hand. Shops don't stock motor but they tell you like we have motor right here.

If you pay up in front you should be able to get a great deal. they don't need to spend their $ to buy parts. they are just like a broker.

Milage
I'm from Japan(aplogize for rough English). There is noway you can find motor with 30K mile on it. You can check Yahoo JP or used car mags. most of Red top SRs are over 80K KM. If it's S15 it could be 20K 30K miles.

Age
If you buy the S14 motor how do you know if it's 94yr or 98yr motor? It's a big difference.

Quality
I see people are happy that the motor came with a fresh oil. You have to drain oil before you pack auto parts in a container. so it doesn't really matter. you don't know if the motor is off wrecked or running car.

I'm trying to import parts from Japan. and researched about this.
