VR4 engine

[DRG]

i just bought #539 VR4 wrecked in the rear. I have a number of pms but no mention of the engine. I am starting to wonder if I paid too much (I have to get $1500 out of the car). I thought the engine would have been the valuable part that everyone wanted. Did I mess up?

Yes

I mean, no.

Well I guess I will be more careful trying to save relics in the future, usually it is machinery I save.

Looks pretty clean and unmolested under the hood. Damn shame it's wrecked. How bad does the rear look?

 

[DRG]

Its totaled, it was an extremely clean car. I pulled it (rough pulled) to get the trunk open. Was nice as well with a fosgate sub and Alpine cd changer and Fosgate amp.

Yup, that's totaled.

Damn dude, that really sucks. I bet there's not a spec of rust on that thing.

I wish I was closer. I need that front bumper.

 

[DRG]

no rust anywhere. Not even a chip in the glass either, no interior stains. The man who owned it really loved this car

I bought a 560sec for $1000. I started parting it out and made $1000 the first week on little sh*t. I still have 85% of the car left. You gotta know what cars to part out. A stock mitsubishi isnt a good parter unless you buy it super low.

Is that original mileage on the motor and what do you want for it?

 

[DRG]

The mileage is claimed to be original and the condition of the car confirms it. I may not know VR4's but I do know cars and condition. I need $1500 out of the car to come out on it. As far as I can tell the only things not working is the right electric mirror and the fog lights. It runs great and the ac is cold.

 

[LIV4PSI]

Engine $500-$600
Transmission $300-$400
EPROM ECU $150
14B turbo $100
Engine harness $150-$200
Badge $125
Rear dog legs $50
Fuel tank and sending unit $250
Front bumper $150

The easy sellers will make you more than $1,500.

I would love the hood if clean.

Not exactly a great investment,But I'm thinking you should be able to get very close to breaking even, maybe even make a couple bucks if you can store what doesn't sell immediately. If you part it out, I'd be interested in both rear doglegs. PM me please.
