Price my DOHC KA

[MrFairlady]

OK..my DOHC KA has 190k on it...Has 0 leaks,0 problems 5 speed Trans No Grinds/leaks (though clutch could use replacement) No Issues what so ever.
I drive it Daily,.every day and have had NO problems.
Whats about the price it is worth to sell Everything (swapping my SR in soon) but a friend wants this, for his Motorless Hatch he just bought.His car has Nothing in it.I will still need my Pwr steer stuff and A/c components for the SR swap - so minus that stuff only.

How much is it worth granted the mileage is high but if you were to have seen/SEE my car - it is and was in GREAT Shape - grandma must have owned it before me..my interior,ext (aside from a few dents) was unreal.

could even give him the cluster to match his mileage to the engine as well.
what is it worth.

[s13drob]

id say 450 - 500. but then again do wut u gotta do 2 get rid of it

[Psycho 240 Freak]

I just got rid of my DOHC KA and tranny with 190k for $500.

[dirtdiggler666]

ya about 500 for everything

[MrFairlady]

Awesome....I was seeing some threads where I thought some people were saying like $100-$200 - I was like DAMN..I don't need $200 that bad.

I wanna hook my buddy up and not Overcharge him so $400+/- might be good for him.He needs basically everything.He'll def be getting a Good motor..I'd say a Clutch and maybe a New MAF and it'll run waaay better.

I was questioning keeping the KA trans incase my SR trans is all "Grindy/ghetto" that I could try to use that one instead.

Thanks everyone:bigok:

[drift freaq]

those guys are on crack $500 for a KA and tranny with 190k? Might as well pay me. fuck that. You were correct in assuming it was only worth $100-200. Anybody selling you a KA with trans with 190k for $500 is A: ripping you off or B: taking advantage of someones stupidity.

[jackjack]

$500 for 190k???? i'd never give you that. i dont care how good it ran. price is too steep. but hey....... if you can get that much. go for it.

Second this.

There's still many risks in buying a motor with high mileage.

Parts wear down with age.

Shit, it would be a better option to just buy a KA for $100ish and have it rebuilt.

WAAY more reliable...

Question...

How much would you pay for a Twin Cam KA with 54k miles...?

A lot more I bet.

[lflkajfj12123]

1 billion dollars

[SW20Racer]

dude, after your sr is in the car and running, sell your friend the engine/transmission/cluster/harness/et c. for $200 and tell him to get it rebuilt. you'll be helping your friend out. isnt that whats important?

personally, id feel bad if i charged a friend more than that. hell the guy at the junk yard isnt even my friend, and thats what he'd charge me for an engine/tranny combo (wouldnt charge me for the cluster or harness)

[LongGrain]

yea man, $500 for a KA is bogus. ESPECIALLY when your selling it to a friend. If it were me, and my SR was already running well, and my friend needed a motor, i'd probably donate it to him (depending on the friend). but i'd say $200 would be fair.

[MrFairlady]

To start...I posted the Thread in order to find out how much it was worth..so its obvious i didn't know.I didn't say:
"selling my Friend my KA w/ 190k on it for $500...fair?"

I was trying to find out what WOULD NOT rip my buddy off.
if its only worth $200...then as stated before...I don't really need $200 that bad...I'll keep the Tranny and give him the motor for free for all i care.


Sounds like some people have gotten away w/ that ($500) and if someone needs it bad enough...I guess They'd spend $500 on it.
better to have something you know will Run then having to Build a motor w/ Nothing to Drive on..or take a chance at spending all the time dropping it in and Bam, a week later it "taking a shit".

It def dosen't need to be re-built.Its freaking Tip-top for the most part.Not worth the labor/time to Rebuild.If this was a terd ass motor w/ Leaks from every seal then maybe.

Thanks guys & gals.

[bo2o]

for a ka that has 100k maybe you will get 500 forshure.

but with 190k thats 200 tops.

and if its for a friend ot have a running s13. hook him up. trade for parts if not haha.

[exitspeed]

$500, hahhaha.

Maybe $200 to a sucka. A dude I know sold a S14 KA with like 70k for $200.

[KAs14slider]

I got a 100k 98 KA with auto tranny for free and sold the tranny for $175 and kept the ka as a backup for my KA-T. All I had to do was come pick it up. It was from a shop that did tons of sr swaps and had tons of ka's laying around that they didn't want.
I would say you could sell the motor for maybe about $200 and maybe another $100-$150 for the tranny.

[MrFairlady]

$500, hahhaha.

Maybe $200 to a sucka. A dude I know sold a S14 KA with like 70k for $200.

That to me just sounds like someone not giving a shit.

[number80]

Yeah I believe $500 is too much, a running KA swap should be $300 max unless it's super low miles which that probably is impossible to find these days.

[gunluvS14]

wow.... 190k and no leaks what so ever? nice.
I bought a spare S13 KA with tranny and ECU for $100. Sold the tranny for $110, the S13 ECU for $50, and the 240/248 cams for $90.

And I still end up having a spare short block :D

[dirtdiggler666]

ok if you try to sell everything as hole no

trans-$200
engine-$250

done

[number80]

I most I could get out of my 98 tranny was $120

[SlideWell]

the trans is worth 300 is it is in good condition, at least around this area. and honestly, i wouldnt sell it if i were you, you'll probably need it. :D

[projekt_s13]

I sold my ka24de with 139k w/tranny,Auto ECU,AEM Intake,wiring harness I even rewired it for a sohc chasiss all for 400 bucks.

So i donno i would pay 250 tops for that 190k motor.

[nismo tuned s14]

i bought a ka24de with 95k miles for $300 in perfect condition. id pay maybe, MAYBE, $200 for one with 190k miles if i needed an engine asap.

[ThatGuy]

I purchased a 155,xxx mileage KA24DE with a fresh timing chain, with a 5-speed for $500.

Did I mention it came surrounded by a a nearly complete chassis that I used for a parts car?

[PF ALL DAY]

No more than $200 if theres over 100K on it. It doesn't matter how strong you say its running.

[ByeByeSti]

i personally wouldnt pay that at all. i have a ka with 180k and a ka with 120k on them and both with auto trannys. and ill take 300 for both right now..
