Whats the background on this? Was the truck totaled? Did you run a compression test on the motor?

It was out of a totaled truck. Don't have much more info than that, I buy these motors all the time and don't always get all the details on them. No compression test.

Yessir. I sell a ton of these but they're not usually this clean. Normally they sell for around $3500

NSSANE02 · July 10, 2018

Have a pending offer for 3700, will take it if it doesn't sell by the weekend.

How much is your average cost on these kinds of motors?

Doesn't sound like a very profitable business. If your cost is $3500, why not charge more, to increase your profit margin?

If your cost is $3500, and you are selling it for $3700, that would mean that you would have to sell 17 units to make up the loss on one bad unit. Seems pretty risky.

That's what I sell them for on average. My cost varies quite a bit depending on where I get them and how many I buy at a time. I don't make a ton of money from them though, most of what I sell goes to the same 4-5 people who run speed shops and/or flip parts like me. I just enjoy it and it allows me to pretty much always have a motor on hand for project cars, I build cars/trucks for a living so that's pretty handy.

Ah. That makes sense. Do you advertise on eBay, Amazon, or Car-part.com?

No, I rarely even post them up anymore because I usually have a buyer lined up before I even get the parts. But when I do post it's just on a few forums and craigslist.

Seems like you could bring in some serious scratch if you work it properly. I'm all about the cash. Why not make money on it?

Time is money. I make enough on flipping parts to cover my consumables and most of my material every month. But I make $100/hr in my shop and I enjoy doing fabrication a hell of a lot more than posting sale ads.
