So far its not a bad price in my book. But you will see how much in 4 days to go. I just paid $1400 for my Lq4 from a junkyard. They are delivering it either today or tomorrow. I'm also getting a 34" radiator to match as well with engine oil cooler in it for $250. But you got to pay to play.

LOL I accidentally got the radiator with the oil cooler when I did the e-fan swap, so I guess I'm set on that. I'll call it thinking ahead

Meh. That price will soar, it says Escalade in the auction. See what it jumps too. If it stays low, snag it. If not check out car-part.com.

Looks like a great deal to me. with the P/S pump, ECM, ALT, and A/C compresor. If you get it I'll buy the alt. lol

OK well.....I emailed the guy, and the reserve is set to $2700, plus $250 shipping to me would be almost $3000. I think I can find a better deal

I'm hoping to stay under 1500 for the motor. Gonna head out to Pomona on the 28th, maybe I can find something there.

For that you can get a really low mile LQ4 complete.

Looking for an LQ9...even at car-parts.com I can't seem to find anything less that $2500....are the LQ9's that much more expensive?
