Good Deal?

[ftpiercecracker1]

At a local salvage yard there is a 94 jeep cherokee sport, HO. I went in there and asked them what they were asking for the head, exhaust man, and intake man.

 

They said they gave me a good "discount".

 

Head: $100

Intake: $50

Header: $100 (normal $250)

 

There is no warranty/guarantee on the parts whatso ever, and a 25% FEE to restock the items if returned.

Everything about the vehicle is in like new condition, with presumably low miles (>150,000) the only reason it was taken to the scrap yard was because of a blown head gasket

 

does this sound like a good deal?

 

thanks for lookin

not to me

I've purchased whole trucks for that. :ack:

 

try car-part.com or pullapart.com (to see if there's one by you)

[mnkyboy]

That's way too much,you should be able to buy an entire 4.0l for less then that.

Good to know, they also said they would sell the entire engine to me for 350, but they said if i bring in my entire engine as a core they would take off a whopping 50 dollars! :eek: (sarcasm) That would make for a low low price of 300 bucks for an engine with a blown head gasket and absoluetly no warranty! :thumbsup:

 

thanks for the help guys.

:cheers:

Seems way over priced. Where are you located? That does make a difference in the cost of parts.

hmmmm I would be nervous dropping that much coin on a head that just blew a gasket, No telling if its even any good still. FWIW i bought an entire engine for $200, 4.0 with wiring and all the accessories. it also ran when it was taken out. but like said your location makes a big difference. Id keep looking

[ftpiercecracker1]

middle TN, its run by a bunch of pakistanys who don't speak much "engrish".

 

Unfortantely, I don't know of very many salvage yards in my area. I know of 3 and they are all ran by the same

[Pete M]

try car-part.com yet?

and there are pullaparts in nashville and knoxville if you're at all close to them. a head there is only 37 bucks. exhaust manifold is 18.

Different prices, different parts of the country. Local, and only, P&P here.

Head $40

Int Mn $40

Header $30

Complete engine $250

I get $400 for an engine but I leave it in the car until sold so it can be started and ran. Know what they're getting.

[ftpiercecracker1]

I looked at carpart, it looks good, I will keep them in mind for the future for sure.

 

thanks for the help

Not to burst your bubble there, but why would someone want to buy the problematic 0331 head?

There's someone in gallatin parting out a 94 that you can hear the engine run before it's pulled. Not sure what he's asking for it but might be worth it.
